Strawberry Sauce. Quick, easy and delicious. Fresh strawberries, a bit of sugar, a splash of lemon juice and a few minutes on the stove top. This homemade strawberry sauce is perfect for taking your desserts and brunch treats to another level.

Strawberries are associated with spring cuisine, and rightfully so. The light, sweet, juicy berries are welcome additions to sweet and savory spring and summer dishes. Strawberries are especially nice in late spring and summer, super glossy red, bursting with flavor.

Here in my little part of the world, I can find fresh strawberries year-round. And I buy them regularly. They make exceptional additions to salads and as a base for vinaigrettes. I don’t bake with the as much probably should, but I do love to roast them and use them as a filling, topping or flavoring agent. Roasting takes strawberries to another level. The natural sugars caramelize and the berries soften perfectly. Try rinsing, hulling and spreading them in a single layer in a small baking dish and seeing for yourself, if you’ve never had the pleasure. Check out our strawberry puree recipe to turn them into a great sauce.

A little sugar or fresh citrus helps amplify their flavor. Our strawberry sauce combines fresh strawberries with some sugar and a splash of fresh lemon juice. I like the ratio of 4 ounces of prepared berries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. Alternately, the berries can be simmered in just the juice, and once broken down, sugar added to taste.

How To Make This Strawberry Sauce

This is a simple recipe. For every 4 ounces of fresh strawberries, two tablespoons of sugar, and a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice are added.

The mix is heated I a sauce pan over low heat until the juices in the strawberries release and the berries soften. The berries are simmered long enough for the liquid to reduce a small amount.

This sauce is excellent warm, served over pancakes, waffles, or your favorite ice cream.

Cold, its perfect for straining and using as a filler for cakes, cupcakes and in muffins.

The sauce can be pureed, if desired.
