Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash, remove stems, and slice the strawberries as thinly as desired. Alternatively, you can chop them for a chunkier sauce.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Place half of the sliced strawberries into a medium-sized pot. Add sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice, then stir to combine evenly.
  3. Simmer Mixture: Turn on the heat to medium and gently bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and release the strawberries’ juices.
  4. Add Remaining Strawberries: Add the remaining strawberries to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes to soften the fruit and infuse the sauce with more strawberry flavor.
  5. Cool and Store: Remove the pot from heat and let the sauce cool to room temperature. Once cooled, pour the strawberry sauce into a clean mason jar or airtight container for storage in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
  • Adjust sugar quantity to taste, especially if your strawberries are very sweet or tart.
  • Lemon juice adds brightness and helps preserve the sauce.
  • The sauce can be served warm or chilled.
  • Store refrigerated and use within one week for optimal freshness.
