This homemade strawberry sauce hits all the marks. It’s the perfect consistency (not too chunky and not like puree), made with just 4 ingredients in 20 minutes total, and it gets tons of compliments on flavor!
2cupschopped strawberriesequal to about a 1 lb carton
⅓cupgranulated sugar
1tspvanilla extract
Squeeze of fresh lemon
Instructions
In a small-medium sized pot over medium heat, combine the diced strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
Bring to a boil, and stir occasionally. The mixture will bubble and foam, the strawberries will release their juices. Allow the mixture to boil for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Use a potato masher to break down some of the strawberries.
Cook until the sauce thickens, about 7 additional minutes.
Transfer the sauce to a container and store in the fridge to cool. Serve when ready.
