Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and chopped to make about 3 cups*
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and mix together. Stir frequently and bring to a simmer.
- Stir while sauce simmers until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. To speed up the cooling process, pour the sauce into a bowl and chill it in an ice and water bath or refrigerate.
- Serve warm or cold over breakfast foods, snacks, and desserts.
- Store leftover sauce in the fridge for up to a week or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge or over gentle heat.
Notes
*You can use frozen strawberries. Thaw them in the microwave, or for a few minutes on the counter so they are soft enough to chop. If you use the juices that come with thawing frozen berries, add an extra ½ teaspoon cornstarch to the recipe.
This recipe yields about 2½ cups of sauce.
