  • Juicer
  • Teaspoon
  • knife
  • Cutting board

  • 2 Cups Strawberries Washed and sliced
  • 1 Lrg Banana Peeled and sliced
  • 6 Kiwi Peeled and sliced in rounds
  • 1 Lrg Juice of Lemon Fresh Only

    2 Cups Strawberries, 1 Lrg Banana, 6 Kiwi
  • In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
    1 Lrg Juice of Lemon, 2 Tsp White Sugar
  • Pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the fruit. Toss gently until all fruit is coated.
  • Divide fruit evenly into 6–8 clean mason jars (about 125 g jars work perfectly).
  • Seal with lids and store in the refrigerator for 4–5 days. Gently flip or shake jars every couple of days to keep the fruit moistened with the lemon mixture.

Notes

Amber’s Tips for Success:
  • Mix before jarring. Always coat fruit with the lemon-sugar solution in a large bowl before portioning into jars for even freshness.
  • Ask the family first. Check what everyone wants before grocery shopping—this is the best way to avoid waste and guarantee your jars get eaten.
  • Choose fruit combos that hold up. Skip fragile pairings; stick with fruits that keep texture for 4–5 days.
  • Size matters. Small mason jars or old jam jars are perfect for quick snacks, while larger canning jars are great for parfaits or family portions.
  • Flip occasionally. Give jars a gentle flip every couple of days so the lemon mixture keeps everything moist and preserved.
