Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into halves or quarters if they are large, leaving smaller ones whole if desired.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the strawberries.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Cook the mixture for about 10-12 minutes, or until the strawberries soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth.
Gradually stir the cornstarch mixture into the simmering sauce. Stir continuously to avoid lumps, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat gently before serving if needed.
