Equipment
- 1 sauce pan
- 1 cutting board
- 1 paring knife
Ingredients
- 1 quart fresh strawberries hulled and halved
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons corn starch
- 1 ½ teaspoons water
- juice of half a lemon
Instructions
- Wash strawberries, hull and cut each berry in half (quarter large berries). Add to saucepan and heat over medium heat until strawberries begin to soften and release their juices - about 3 to 5 minutes. Gently mash with a potato maser leaving some berries intact.
- Whisk together cornstarch and water until cornstarch is fully dissolved; add to berries stirring to combine. Continue to simmer over low heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often until sauce begins to thicken. Sauce will continue to thicken when cooling.
- Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
Notes
Store cooled sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
