Ingredients

  • 1½ pounds strawberries (675g)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Hull the strawberries and dice them into ½-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and lemon juice. Place over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a simmer while stirring frequently. Cook until the strawberries are nearly submerged in their juices, about 3 minutes.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 more minutes, until the sauce is reduced by about one-third, the strawberries have mostly broken down, and the consistency is syrupy. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Transfer to a bowl or jar and let cool to room temperature. (The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, especially with refrigeration.)
  4. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can use frozen strawberries in place of fresh. Simmer the mixture for a few minutes longer, as the frozen strawberries will release more liquid when cooked.
