On the Table: Strawberry Sauce

The strawberry deluge is upon us!  (Is it just me, or have they taken over the grocery stores in the past couple of weeks?)  They are super easy to turn into a delightful sauce for...oh...anything.  Especially ice cream.  You can get a serving of fruit as part of your dessert!  To prepare:

Slice half a pound of strawberries.  They can really be sliced any size you want, depending on how chunky you like your sauce - you just want them to be fairly consistent in size.  Put the strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle them with about a tablespoon of granulated sugar, and stir well to combine.  Let sit for about an hour, then put the mixture in a small saucepot over low heat.  Cook, stirring often, until the strawberries are nice and tender.


If you wanted, you could buzz the sauce with an immersion blender to make it nice and smooth.  I like mine chunky though!

Enjoy!
