Strawberry Sauce is a dessert recipe on Avoteb. Plan on 20 minutes from start to plate. The amounts and the method are both on this page.
Ingredients
- 1 pound strawberries, fresh or frozen
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar, to taste
- 1 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Method
Prepare the berries. Wash, hull, and divide the strawberries in two groups. Slice one group of the berries and set them aside for later. Tip in the remaining group of whole berries to a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
Let it bubble gently the base. Move the strawberry purée to a saucepan. Beat in the cornstarch, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and the lemon juice until the mixture is evenly combined. Set the pan over medium-a hot burner and cook, stirring now and then, until the sauce comes up to a boil. Let it boil briefly so the cornstarch can fully thicken the mixture.
Tip in the fresh berries. Lift the pan from the heat and mix in the sliced strawberries. Give the sauce a check the seasoning and adjust the flavor as you like — add extra sugar for sweetness or a bit more lemon juice for brightness. If the sauce is thicker than you prefer, thin it out with a teaspoon of water at a time.
Cool and serve. Allow the sauce to cool (it will continue to thicken as it stands), then spoon over cheesecake or refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to use.
