SB&J Burger

2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon powdered ginger
1 pound ground beef
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup SunButter® No Sugar Added
4 to 6 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced

1. In a small bowl, mix the strawberries, lemon juice, and ginger. Set aside. Preheat a gas grill with all burners on high, lid closed, 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Mix the ground beef with salt and pepper and shape into four patties. Gently press down the center of each patty until it’s about 1/2-inch thick to make a slight depression; this will prevent them from turning bulbous when you cook them. Grill patties, uncovered and without pressing down on them, until they’re seared on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the burgers and continue grilling to desired temperature: 3 minutes for rare, 4 minutes for medium, and 5 minutes for well-done.
3. While the burgers are cooking, heat a small saucepan over medium-high. Pour the strawberries and their juice into the pan and sauté the berries until they’re very soft and syrupy. They should be reduced to about 1/2 cup. Allow to cool a bit.
4. Place SunButter in a microwave-safe dish (or saucepan) and heat until thinned, about 40 seconds in the microwave.
5. When the burgers are done, top each with 1 tablespoon of melted SunButter and a few tablespoons of the strawberry “jelly,” then sprinkle with scallions.
