📋 Recipe Ingredients
Strawberry Sauce Ingredients
Strawberries - For the best tasting result I prefer to use homegrown strawberries for this recipe.
Sugar - I used organic sugar, but white granulated sugar will work as well.
🔪 Recipe Instructions
Simple Steps to Make Strawberry Sauce
First things first, I start by trimming stems off and rinse strawberries well.
Next, transfer clean strawberries into a bowl. Mix in sugar and place onto stovetop stirring constantly until the sugar melts and bring to a boil.
As soon as the sugar melts, strawberries will release its juice. Then as the sauce gets closer to a boiling stage it will foam up.
TIP: That being said, it is very important to fill the pot halfway, to begin with.
As soon as the sauce begins to boil, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Do not overcook the sauce. By doing so, the sauce will lose its bright color and will taste more like jam.
Remove from heat to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
After the sauce has cooled, I use a potato masher to break/mash whole cooked strawberries before refrigerating or freezing.
How to store Strawberry Sauce
The final product is to be stored in a glass jar and kept refrigerated for a couple of weeks or frozen for up to a year.
