Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
Instructions
1. Prepare Your Strawberries: Start by rinsing your strawberries in cold water. Once they’re nice and clean, remove the green tops and chop them into bite-sized pieces.
2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, toss the diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice together. If you’re feeling a little extra, you can sprinkle in that cornstarch for a thicker sauce.
3. Heat Things Up: Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally. As the mixture heats, the strawberries will release their juices, and all that yummy sweetness will start bubbling up.
4. Cook and Thicken: Allow the sauce to simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring gently. If you want it thick, let it simmer longer but do keep an eye on it.
5. Cool and Store: Once you’ve reached your desired consistency, remove the pan from heat and let it cool before transferring it to a jar or an airtight container.
