Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
- Rinse the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them as thinly as you like. You may also chop them if preferred. Transfer half of the strawberries into a medium-sized pot.
- Add the sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir everything together until combined.
- Place the pot over heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the remaining strawberries and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool. Once cooled, transfer it into a mason jar for storage.
- Cut the strawberries to your desired size—thin slices, chunks, or even mashed.
- Try mixing in other berries like blackberries or blueberries for added flavor and color.
- If you prefer a sweeter sauce, increase the amount of sugar.
