Fresh Strawberry Sauce
Fresh strawberry sauce is a sauce full of fresh strawberry flavor that is great for ice cream, cakes and desserts. Serve warm or cold!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved*
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 3 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup cold water
- ½ teaspoon strawberry baking emulsion, such as LorAnn (optional)
Instructions
- Using a food processor or immersion blender, puree the strawberries with the granulated sugar until smooth and no large pieces of strawberries remain.
- In a small saucepan, dissolve the cold water with the cornstarch. Add in the pureed strawberry mixture and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Continue to cook until it begins to boil; once boiling, cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry baking emulsion (if using).
- Serve sauce warm or cold.
Notes
- You can substitute frozen strawberries, but they must be fully thawed and most of the reserved liquid drained before using (use the juice from the thawed strawberries in place of the water for this recipe)
- Keep sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week
- The baking emulsion intensifies the strawberry flavor in this sauce
- Makes 1 1/2 cups, 2 Tablespoons/serving
