Ingredients
Scale
Fresh Strawberry Sauce:
- 1 pound fresh or frozen strawberries (hulled and halved)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Cook the Strawberries: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries release their juices and begin to break down.
- Thicken the Sauce: For a thicker consistency, stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer for an additional 1–2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy the sauce warm or chilled. For a smoother texture, blend using an immersion blender or standard blender until desired consistency is reached.

- Great over pancakes, cheesecake, ice cream, or yogurt.
