Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries
0.25 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water, then hull and slice them into small pieces.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender or mash the strawberries with a fork to your desired consistency.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 7

Serve warm or chilled over your favorite dessert or breakfast dish. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
