Ridiculously Easy Strawberry Coulis

To make in the microwave:

1. Combine berries, sugar and lemon juice in a large, microwave-safe bowl. Stir well to combine.
2. Cook on high power for 1 minute. Remove from the microwave and stir again.
3. Repeat the 1 minute in the microwave followed by a good stir 3 more times. The berries should have released a lot of their juice by this time.
4. Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor container and blend for 1 minute on high. Taste and add more sugar and/or lemon juice, if needed.
5. For a super smooth sauce, strain the coulis through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl.
6. Chill for at least 3-4 hours in the refrigerator. (The sauce will get thicker as it cools.) Serve and enjoy!
7. Chill for at least 3-4 hours in the refrigerator. (The sauce will get thicker as it cools.)
