Ingredients

  • 2 Cups Strawberries (diced (plus ¼ cups))
  • ½ Cup Sugar
  • ½ Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Cut cleaned, hulled strawberries into quarters and measure out 2 cups.
    2 Cups Strawberries
  • In a medium sauce pan, add the quartered strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla extract. 
    ½ Teaspoon Lemon Juice, ½ Cup Sugar, 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Stir over medium high heat, bring the sauce to a boil, stirring to prevent burning.
  • Allow to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the heat and cool completely before storing in the freezer or refrigerator. 

Notes

At the 13 minute mark of simmering the sauce, add ¼ cup of chopped strawberries. These berries will not break down as much as the other strawberries in the recipe, giving you firmer strawberries in the sauce in addition to the tender berries.
Fresh lemon juice is best but use bottled if that is all you have available.
