BEST STRAWBERRY SAUCE RECIPE
serves 6

Ingredients
12 ounces (340g) strawberries, hulled and cut in half
¼ cup (60ml) water
¼ cup (50g) sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml) lemon zest
Slurry (1 tablespoon (15ml) water/1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch)

Place the strawberries in a medium-sized saucepan. Add water and sugar and stir to combine.

Allow to simmer on medium-high heat until the strawberries start to release their juice and bubble. Mash the strawberries gently into a rustic, chunky sauce with a potato masher.

Allow to come up to a boil then add the slurry, whisk to combine and thicken.

Then add the lemon zest and pinch of salt. Allow to cool slightly to a warm temperature.

Serve over vanilla ice cream or it is also really good with pistachio ice cream too! Enjoy!
