2-Ingredient Strawberry Sauce
Description
The 2-Ingredient Strawberry Sauce relies on strawberries and granulated sugar, gently cooked until the berries release their juices and the mixture thickens. The process involves simmering the fruit and sugar over medium heat, then reducing to low to develop a sauce that clings to spoon and offers a balance of sweet and vibrant strawberry taste. The consistency is achieved without additional thickeners, allowing the natural pectin in the fruit to create body.
This sauce can be served at room temperature or chilled, making it suitable for drizzling over breakfasts, desserts, or as a fruit topping. Its simplicity and fresh ingredients capture the essence of strawberries in a convenient, spreadable form.
To preserve, store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to seven days. You may also double the recipe to freeze portions for longer-term use.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium high heat, combine the strawberries and sugar and cook, stirring occasionally until the strawberries begin to release their juices and start to boil.
- Reduce heat to low and continue cooking the strawberries uncovered, stirring occasionally, until a thick sauce forms, about 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and bring to room temperature. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
Notes
- Doubling the batch allows for freezing extra sauce to enjoy later without additional preparation.
