Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them by removing the green leafy tops.
Cut the strawberries into quarters and add them to a medium-sized saucepan.
Add the honey, lemon juice, and water to the saucepan with the strawberries.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to soften and release their juices.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
If you prefer a smooth sauce, blend the mixture with an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender and process until smooth. For a chunky sauce, leave it as is.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then transfer it to a jar or container. Serve warm or chilled.
