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.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the strawberries, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, and cook until the strawberries are very soft, a good 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and use a potato masher to completely smush them to smithereens. Pour the mixture into a fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl. Use a spoon to stir the fruit so the liquid is forced through. Continue until almost all of the liquid is in the bowl. Set the pulp aside.
• Skim as much foam off the sauce as you can. Pour the skimmed sauce back into the same saucepan, add 1/4 cup of the pulp back in and boil again for 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Skim off any more foam that has formed on the surface, then allow the sauce to cool slightly before pouring it into a pitcher or jar. Refrigerate it to thicken and serve it cold.

Steps:

• If using fresh strawberries, cut the heads off of each strawberry and quarter them. Set 1/2 cup aside if you like a chunkier sauce.
• In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, add strawberries, vanilla & sugar. Mix well.
• As the strawberries warm up, they will begin to sweat. Continue stirring every minute or two.
• After 7 - 10 minutes, your strawberries will be mushy and there will be a lot of liquid in the pan.
• Mash this mixture up with a potato masher or for a smoother sauce, pour hot strawberry mixture into a blender and pulse 2 - 3 times.
• Strawberry mixture will be chunky (this is good!).
• Dice up remaining strawberries and add to hot sauce.
• Pour mixture into a bowl and refrigerate until cool - about 30 minutes.
• Once cool, enjoy on EVERYTHING!
