Strawberry Sauce Recipe
Description
This Strawberry Sauce Recipe combines hulled, thickly sliced fresh strawberries with granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice cooked over medium heat. The lemons’ acidity brightens the sweetness, while the sugar helps extract the juices from the strawberries as the mixture comes to a boil. Continued simmering breaks down the fruit, thickening the sauce.
Stirring occasionally prevents burning and encourages even cooking. The sauce is simmered until it reaches the desired thickness, about 20 to 23 minutes, and then cooled to room temperature. It thickens further once refrigerated due to natural gelatinization from the fruit.
The sauce is suitable for topping ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt, adding fresh strawberry flavor and sweetness without the texture of whole fruit. It is straightforward, relying on just fruit, sugar, and lemon juice without added thickeners or spices.
Ingredients

Instructions
How to Make Strawberry Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, 1/3 cup sugar and 1 Tbsp lemon juice. Place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Strawberries will release juice without any mashing required.
- Reduce heat and simmer 20-23 min or until sauce is thickened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Keep in mind sauce will thicken up slightly as it cools and even more with refrigeration.
