Ingredients

4 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, chopped

  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the strawberries soften.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of water with the cornstarch until smooth.
  5. Add the cornstarch mixture to the saucepan, stirring constantly.
  6. Continue to cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
  7. Remove from heat and allow the sauce to cool.
  8. Serve warm or refrigerate to use later.

  • Add orange zest with lemon juice for a citrus twist.
  • Reduce cooking time and stir less for a chunkier sauce.
  • Blend the sauce after cooking for a smooth texture.
  • Add cinnamon or nutmeg for a spiced flavor.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 5 days.
  • Freeze in portions for up to 3 months; thaw before use.
  • Reheat gently on low heat, stirring occasionally.
