Instructions
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine the strawberries and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add vanilla, stir to combine, and remove from heat.
Notes
- Strawberries: Fresh or frozen, whatever looks better at the store. And you can apply this recipe to other berries, too.
- Yield: One recipe makes about 1 cup of topping.
- Make ahead: Strawberry Topping can be made several days ahead and refrigerated until you need it.
- Storage: Refrigerate in a sealed container.
- Freezing: Strawberry topping freezes really well for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
- Other fruit: Feel free to substitute other berries for the strawberries. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries are all delightful once gently simmered into a sweet sauce.
