Strawberry and Lemon Preserves

In this preserve, slices of whole lemons are simmered in the juices of the strawberries until translucent. Preserves like this appeal to the side of me that craves variety even at the micro level. Spooned onto toast or a biscuit, each bite may be a little different, depending on whether you get a soft mound of sweet berry or a tender wedge of tart lemon.
