Don’t worry, spring (and summer) weather IS coming, and then we’ll be up to our elbows in berries!
Before today, I had never made strawberry sauce. I’d use fresh-cut strawberries on pancakes and angel food cake, but now that I know how to make strawberry sauce, I’ll definitely bust out this recipe for those special occasions.
The consistency of strawberry sauce can be anywhere from chunky to puree.
I like mine right in the middle, haha. I want enough strawberry pieces, but I also want enough syrup. So I chose to use a potato masher to break down some of the strawberries during the boiling process.
That part is optional. If you want the fresh strawberry sauce to be more blended and uniform in texture, once the sauce is done cooking, transfer it into a blender and puree it. The sauce will become foamy, so I suggest refrigerating it before using it so it becomes nice and smooth.
