Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 pounds fresh strawberries (32 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (Optional)
Instructions
- 1
Wash the strawberries. I like to wash my strawberries in water mixed with white vinegar.
- 2
Remove the stems of the strawberries and cut the strawberries in half. Puree the strawberries in a food processor or blender. I used my NinjaMaster Prep Pro System.
- 3
Place the pureed strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice into a small saucepan and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- 4
Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let the strawberries slowly reduce stirring occasionally. Reduce for about 30 minutes. The strawberry sauce will be thick like tomato sauce.
- 5
Allow the sauce to cool before placing it in an airtight container and refrigerating. Don't use hot or warm strawberry reduction in batters or for baking. The strawberry sauce needs to be completely cooled for use in baking or as a topping.
