This Strawberry Sauce requires just 3 ingredients and takes less than 10 minutes to make! It’s perfect to spread on toast, top cheesecake or a yogurt bowl and of course, eat by the spoonful!
It started with cheesecake….this classic cheesecake to be specific. I wanted to make a quick strawberry topping to pair it with but I didn’t have pectin to make jam. But should a lack of pectin cause you to be deprived of delicious strawberry goodness? NO!
That’s why this strawberry sauce is possibly the easiest spread you can make with supporting ingredients you likely already have on hand!
So grab your strawberries, sugar and a lemon and let’s make strawberry sauce!
How to make Strawberry Sauce
Step 1: Rinse your strawberries and roughly chop them.
Step 2: Add strawberries, sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice to a saucepan and stir over medium/high heat for 5 minutes, it will thicken and break down a bit.
Step 3: Reduce the heat to low and stir for another 2-3 minutes, making sure to break down some of the larger chunks.
I prefer to leave a few larger chunks of strawberry in my strawberry sauce but that’s up to you!
Step 4: Remove the strawberry sauce from the heat, allow to cool and serve as you like, it’s THAT easy!
