Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the strawberries evenly with sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and become slightly soft.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the hot strawberry sauce cool for 2 minutes.
Scoop one serving of vanilla ice cream into each bowl or dessert dish.
Spoon the warm strawberry sauce generously over the top of the ice cream.
Top each sundae with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chopped nuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Hot Strawberry Sundaes!
