Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup strawberry preserves
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Slice them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, strawberry preserves, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the strawberries become soft and juicy.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving warm. If desired, press the sauce through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother texture.
Serve the warm double strawberry sauce over your favorite desserts or breakfast dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
