A delicious way to use fresh strawberries. Adjust the level of sweetness with more or less sugar, depending on how sweet your strawberries are.

1 cup strawberries, hulled
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
5 ice cubes
Combine the strawberries, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, and ice in a blender. Process until smooth.
Serve the strawberry crush immediately. Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries, if desired.
You can freeze the strawberries ahead of time and omit the ice for a creamier drink.
You can use frozen strawberries in place of fresh. If they are in a syrup, omit the sugar (or add it to taste). No need to thaw them ahead of time.
