Main Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries rinsed, hulled and thickly sliced

- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally. The strawberries will naturally release their juices.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 to 23 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the strawberry sauce to cool to room temperature before serving. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
Notes
