INGREDIENTS
4 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced thick
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
In a saucepan, combine strawberries and sugar. Bring to a low boil over medium-low heat. Reduce and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in vanilla. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
NOTES
For fresh strawberry flavor, use the ripest, sweetest fresh strawberries you can find. If at all possible, use organic strawberries.
Do not simmer them too long, as the berries will completely break down. I think the sauce is far better with bits of fresh berries in it.
If you prefer fewer chunks in your strawberry sauce, use an immersion blender to puree some of the strawberries. Go slowly and purree just enough to reach your desired consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract after the sauce cools a little bit so the sauce will retain more of the vanilla flavor.
