Homemade Strawberry Sauce
With strawberry season upon us, this easy strawberry sauce is one of the best ways we’re enjoying them!
Strawberries really are so much better through the Spring and Summer, so we try to pick or buy as much as we can when the time is right.
Ready in under 30 minutes, this recipe is perfect to whip up for breakfast or an easy dessert! Or keep some prepared in the fridge to enjoy at a moment’s notice…or with a spoon when no one’s watching. We won’t tell!
Another great thing about this Strawberry Sauce is that it’s just as good with frozen berries, so you can easily get your fix through the winter if you need it.
How to Make Strawberry Sauce
This simple sauce is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
- Prep: Clean and chop or slice the strawberries (per recipe below)
- Simmer: Add sugar and berries to the pan and simmer until softened.
- Thicken: Whisk in cornstarch to thicken and let cool slightly!
You can serve warm from the pan, or refrigerate to serve later.
Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?
You can absolutely use frozen strawberries in this recipe, and I do all through the winter when fresh just aren’t up to par.
You can thaw the frozen strawberries before adding to the pan or leave them frozen.
Just be sure to keep the heat on low until they thaw, and add a corn starch slurry to thicken if the frozen berries release too much liquid.
Delicious Variations
Feel free to get creative with the recipe and make it your own!
- Use half strawberries and half rhubarb for strawberry rhubarb sauce
- Mix and match berries you have on hand to come up with your own combination
- Add the zest of a lemon before serving for extra zing
- Slice in some fresh strawberries just before serving for extra chunky strawberry sauce
- If you don’t like your strawberry sauce overly sweet, or your berries are very sweet, you can try reducing the sugar to 1/4 or 1/3 to start, and adding more after tasting if you need it.
