Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are large, leaving smaller ones whole if desired.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the strawberries.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Cook the mixture for about 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Step 6
Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Step 8
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
