Combine the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over very low heat for 10 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved. Add the strawberries and continue to cook over very low heat for 20 minutes, until the strawberries release some of their juices and the mixture boils slowly. Cook until a small amount of the juice gels on a very cold plate. (I keep one in the freezer.) Pour carefully into 2 pint canning jars and either seal or keep refrigerated. Use immediately, or follow proper canning guidelines.

1 cup (about 1/2 pint) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Dressing:
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
For the salad: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the snap peas and cook until vibrant green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and add to a salad bowl. Stir in the cucumbers, tomatoes and dill.
For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until coated.
Cook’s Note: As an alternative to boiling, the snap peas can be lightly steamed for 2 minutes.
