Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 quart of fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • pinch of kosher salt

Method
 

  1. Wash and cut the tops off the strawberries, then quarter them. Set aside 1/2 cup if you like a chunkier sauce.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the strawberries, sugar, vanilla, lemon juice, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Stir occasionally as the strawberries begin to release their juices and sweat for about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Mash the mixture with a potato masher or pulse it in a blender for a smoother consistency. You want some chunks for texture.
  5. Pour the mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for about 30 minutes until cool.
  6. Serve over angel food cake and enjoy!
