Fresh Strawberry Topping

A fresh strawberry sauce served over french vanilla ice cream...or on top of cheesecake...or even in a strawberry shake. Just some of the reasons to use those in season strawberries in a yummy dessert! This is beyond good! It doesn't compare to the jar of topping you can buy in the store, this is far better. And even simple, I promise!!



Fresh Strawberry Topping


1 pint (2 cups) strawberries, cleaned and stemmed

1/3 cup white sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract


Chop strawberries.




In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 2/3 of the chopped strawberries, sugar and vanilla.
Cook, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens, about 7-10 minutes.


Remove from heat. In a blender, puree strawberry sauce. Then transfer to a small bowl and add in remaining 1/3 strawberries. Store in refrigerator.
