Servings 12
Ingredients
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries tops removed, or frozen strawberries
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the strawberries, 1/2 cup of water, sugar and lemon juice. Stir frequently, and bring to a low boil.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water.
- Slowly stir the cornstarch into the strawberry mixture. Simmer until the homemade strawberry sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gently stir in vanilla.
- Serve warm or pour into an airtight container and chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Makes about 3 cups.
- If using frozen berries, you do not need to thaw them before making the sauce.
- You may use sliced or whole berries in this sauce. If using whole berries, you may want to use a potato masher to break the berries up as the sauce cooks.
