Strawberry Lemonade Concentrate Canning Recipe

How to make a strawberry lemonade concentrate canning recipe. This is a water bath canning recipe that makes about 5 pints. You then mix the concentrate with 3 parts water, so each pint makes 2 quarts of lemonade.
This uses strawberry puree for the flavor. You can use fresh or frozen berries to make this. I used freshly squeezed lemon juice, but you can also use bottled juice. I recommend not using juice from concentrate for the best flavor.
I reduced the sugar when I made it. I used 5 cups total sweetener, and I used half Splenda for baking and half sugar. It was plenty sweet, and you couldn't tell that I used Splenda at all.
When you're ready to make lemonade, combine 1 part concentrate and 3 parts water. Stir well and serve over ice.
