I know it has been a while since I have posted anything! We have been busy with baseball and end of the school year stuff and I haven't been very experimental or cooking a ton!
Well, I am back at it again and hoping to be cooking more now that I am not trying to rush kids to bed and going to activities etc.!
This sauce turned out really good (just need to adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of your strawberries) and we ate it on crepes!
Strawberry Sauce
(Our Best Bites cookbook)
- 1 pint strawberries, washed, hulled, and roughly chopped ~ I googled what a pint of strawberries was since I bought mine at Costco and it is 2 1/4 cups sliced or 7 cups whole berries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar ~ adjust to sweetness, mine needed more sugar
- 1 tsp almond or vanilla extract ~ used vanilla
Combine berries, sugar, and vanilla(or almond) extract in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly and breaking up the strawberries with a wooden spoon.
After 5 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool before putting in your blender. When cool enough, transfer to your blender and blend until desired consistency is reached. Refrigerate unused sauce for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months!
Use on top of waffles, crepes, ice cream, milkshakes or even the cookbook suggests adding a few spoonfuls to lemonade to make Strawberry lemonade! A yummy summer treat!!
