Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam.
Stir in the granulated sugar and allow it to dissolve into the butter, creating a light caramel sauce.
Add the sliced strawberries to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the butter and sugar mixture.
Cook the strawberries for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
Add the lemon juice, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the strawberries cool slightly before serving.
Serve the sautéed strawberries warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, yogurt, or ice cream.
