Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful strawberries: The quality of your strawberries will greatly impact the taste of your marmalade or sauce. Look for berries that are deep red, plump, and have a sweet aroma.

- Cook the marmalade or sauce until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of pectin you are using and the desired thickness. Be sure to follow the recipe carefully to avoid overcooking or undercooking.
- Store the marmalade or sauce properly: Once your marmalade or sauce is made, it can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months.
