Broussards Sauce For Strawberries Slightly Altered Food

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SAUCE (TOPPING)

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.)
• Place the cornstarch mixture, along with the rest of the ingredients, into a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture as it cooks. Break up some of the strawberries as you stir.
• Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. After 5 minutes, remove pan from the heat and allow to cool. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
• You can serve the sauce warm before it cools completely if desired, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Strawberry topping will be thick after refrigeration, so microwave for 15 seconds or warm on the stove to thin out, if desired.
