Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the frozen strawberries, sugar, honey, water, lemon peel, lemon juice, and pink peppercorns. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle boil, stirring frequently.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the sage. Allow the mixture to stand for about 1 hour, uncovered.
