Here’s How to Make this Strawberry Sauce

This recipe makes about 1-1/2 cups of sauce. I made this thicker so you may tend to use more sauce quickly. I recommend doubling the sauce if you need to serve multiple people or if you have sauce lovers (like me!).

First, you are going to chop up your strawberries. You can also use frozen berries for this recipe don’t feel like you need to rush to the store if you don’t have fresh strawberries!

Place the strawberries, sugar, vanilla, and lemon into a medium sauce pan and place on medium-low heat. The mixture will start to boil and release the strawberry’s juices.

Allow the mixture to boil for about 14 minutes, stirring frequently.

Approximately halfway through, you will crush the berries with a potato masher or a pastry blender. You don’t need to crush them all, but it does help break down the sauce a little bit more.

As the mixture boils it will continue to thicken. When it is your desired thickness, remove from heat.

Transfer to a container and store in the fridge until you are ready to use it. The sauce will continue to thicken up in the fridge, but you can serve it whenever you are ready to use it.

Don’t forget to serve your treat with this this delicious homemade whipped cream!

How do you store this strawberry reduction sauce?

Do not allow your desserts with fruit sauces to sit out at room temperature for more than two hours as they are prone to mold.

You can store this strawberry sauce in an air-tight container for 2 days in the fridge, or up to 6 months in the freezer.
