Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups strawberries
  • juice from half a lemon optional
  • pinch of salt optional

Instructions

  • Wash, stem and slice the strawberries. Puree them in a food processor or blender until smooth. 
  • In a medium sauce pan, add the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, lemon juice and salt if using it. 
  • Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the sauce begins to bubble in the center of the pot, about 6 minutes or so. 
  • Turn off the heat and work the thickened mixture through a sieve (if you want to get rid of the seeds and make it smoother). Cover and chill or use right away.
