First, wash the strawberries and remove the stem. Let the strawberries dry and then dice them finely. The size of the strawberries can be large, after cooking you can puree them in a food processor.

Now pass the pureed sauce through a strainer. This separates the strawberry pulp. Of course, I always skip this step because I also like the fruit pulps in the sauce. Allow the sauce to cool slightly, then pour the sauce into a sealed container and refrigerate for a few hours.

The sauce is ready to serve with ice cream, pancakes, waffles, or cakes. I do not keep this sauce in the refrigerator for a long time. I consume it in 3 to 4 days and make it again with fresh strawberries if I need to.
