Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) strawberries fresh or frozen Note 1
- ¼ cup (50 g) (50g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120 ml) water if using frozen strawberries, use ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon (8 g) cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon (15 g) lemon juice
Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and water.
- Bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix cornstarch and lemon juice until smooth.
- Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the strawberries while mixing continuously. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Smash the berries with a fork or potato masher for a smooth consistency.
Notes
Notes 1: Both fresh and frozen strawberries work wonderfully. No need to thaw frozen berries. If desired, you can half the berries. I usually leave them whole.
Tips:
- If you add cornstarch slurry too quickly or without stirring, it can firm up into gelatinous balls in the sauce. Customize your sauce consistency:
- For a chunky topping consistency: don’t smash the berries.
-For a semi-chunky consistency: smash the berries with a fork or potato masher.
- For a smooth consistency: use an immersion blender to blend the sauce. Storing Tips:
- This easy strawberry sauce will stay fresh in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Freeze leftover sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months! Let the frost thaw in the refrigerator before using.
