Directions
- 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then halve them. For a chunkier sauce, leave some pieces larger.
- 2
Combine strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the berries begin releasing their juices.
- 3
Continue simmering uncovered on low heat for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- 4
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
💡 Chef's Tip
Blend and strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smooth, pourable sauce. A splash of vanilla extract added at the end deepens the flavor beautifully.
