Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries – washed and hulled
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 to 4 tablespoons sugar – adjust as needed
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Cut half the strawberries into halves and set them aside. Purée the other half using a blender or food processor until smooth.
2. In a medium pot, add the strawberry purée, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to combine the cornstarch and sugar, then heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil to thicken. Turn off the heat.
3. Stir in the halved strawberry pieces. Taste and adjust with more sugar or lemon juice as desired. For a thinner sauce, add 1 teaspoon of water at a time.
4. Allow the sauce to completely cool. The halved strawberries will soften but keep their shape. Serve and enjoy!
