Properly sealed and sterilized jars can last up to 1 year in a cool, dark place. Once opened, store in the refrigerator and consume within 1 month.
Yes, but sugar acts as a preservative. Reducing it may shorten shelf life. For a healthier option, try natural sweeteners like honey or stevia, adjusting to taste.
Simmer it longer to thicken, or add a natural thickener like chia seeds or pectin. Ensure it cools completely before checking consistency.
Yes, the recipe is naturally vegan as it contains only strawberries and sugar. Just ensure any alternative sweeteners used are vegan-friendly.
Use it as a pancake topping, swirl into yogurt, mix into oatmeal, or as a filling for pastries and thumbprint cookies.
