  • Add the puree back to the pan and bring it to a simmer, stirring occasionally. It will thicken and darken. Once thick to your liking, strain the mixture to remove any seeds.

Notes

  • For a chunky strawberry sauce, leave out a few pieces of thawed berries before pureeing. Dice these pieces, then add back to the sauce after straining.
  • Use a heavy-based saucepan to better distribute heat. Stir occasionally so the strawberries with sugar don't catch on the bottom of the pan.
  • Using frozen strawberries means you don't have to do any of the work hulling your berries. You can just add the strawberries and sugar to the pan and cook with no prep work.
