- 2-1/2cupshulled fresh strawberriesor frozen
- 1/4cupwater
- 6tablespoonspalm shortening
- 1/3cupLakantoor Dietz Sweet
- 5egg yolks

Instructions
Start with fresh or frozen strawberries and water in a small saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat.Use a wooden spoon or utensil of your choice to smash the berries as they soften.
Simmer about 10 minutes.
- Once they're good and smashed, place a medium-size fine mesh sieve into a bowl (like cereal bowl size). Pour the strawberry mash into the sieve.
- Use a spoon to stir and press the juices out, leaving the strawberry "pulp" behind in the sieve.
- Return the strawberry juice to the saucepan simmer it for another 10 minutes to reduce it.
While it simmers, separate 5 egg yolks.
- After the strawberry juice has reduced, add palm shortening and sweetener. Whisk until the sweetener is dissolved.
Continue whisking until the mixture thickens to coat the back of a spoon.
- Add egg yolks one at a time, whisking constantly so they don't scramble.
- Finally, remove from the heat and whisk in salt, freeze-dried strawberries, and vanilla extract.
Transfer to a bowl or jar for storage. You can refrigerate it right away or eat it or put it in a pre-baked tart or pie crust.
