Ingredients Needed
- Fresh strawberries
- Optional: sugar or honey (for sweetness)

Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own dried strawberries:
- Preparation: Rinse the strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. You can slice them into halves or quarters for quicker drying.
- Optional Sweetening: If desired, toss the strawberries in sugar or honey and a splash of lemon juice for added flavor.
