Strawberry Sauce
Description
This strawberry sauce recipe cooks fresh strawberries chopped into pieces with granulated sugar over medium heat until the berries soften and release their juices. The simmering process takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on berry and pan size.
A mixture of cornstarch and water is added while the sauce is simmering to thicken the liquid to a syrupy consistency. Vanilla extract added at the end contributes a subtle aromatic note. The sauce can be served warm or cooled in the refrigerator for later use.
Its vibrant natural strawberry flavor and balance of sweetness provide a versatile topping for a variety of desserts such as ice cream, cakes, waffles, or pancakes, highlighting the fresh berry taste with a smooth, slightly thickened texture.
Ingredients
- 2 pound strawberry fresh
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Wash strawberries well, remove the tops and chop into half inch pieces.
- Place in a large saucepan with sugar and cook on medium heat, stirring often, until berries are softened and there is a lot of juice in the pan (15-25 minutes, depending on the size of your berries and the size of your pan).
- Stir together cornstarch and water and add to the strawberries while it is still simmering. Stir until thickened.
- Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
