Ingredients

Strawberry Sauce

  • 500 g strawberries washed, dried and chopped
  • 60 g brown sugar
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions
 

Strawberry Sauce

  • Prepare strawberries - Clean, dry and chop your strawberries. Add them to a food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour into a large saucepan along with brown sugar and lime juice. Stir until sugar is mixed in.
  • Cook sauce - Place on medium heat and bring to a boil while stirring (don’t stop stirring). When you see those bubbles, turn down to low medium heat and stir for 4 minutes. The mixture will thicken slightly.
  • Strain and cool - Take off the heat and run through a fine mesh sieve. Regular sieves won’t catch the pulp from the strawberries which will prevent the sauce from being silky smooth. Use a spoon or spatula to stir the mixture in the sieve until only the pulp and seeds are left. Don’t push the pulp through or your sauce won’t be smooth. Discard whatever is left over. Your sauce is ready to use once it cools down!

Storage - The strawberry sauce can be stored in an airtight container or glass jar with screw top lid, in the fridge for up to five days.
