Ingredients
Scale
- 400g (14 oz) strawberries, stems removed & halved
- 2 TBSPs granulated sugar
- 120ml (1/2 cup) water
- juice of 1/2 medium lemon
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine all the ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and water becomes red and syrupy.
- Let cool for a few minutes (or cool completely) then serve with ice cream, pancakes, … whatever your heart desires.
- Store the sauce in the fridge, it keeps for a week or more.
Notes
You can use frozen berries if you don’t have fresh ones on hand. Add them to the saucepan still frozen. In case your strawberries aren’t sweet enough or the lemon you’re using is insanely sour do add more sugar.
