Strawberries In Natural Sauce Recipes

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla.
• Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing against the solids; let cool completely. To store, cover and refrigerate up to 4 days.

ALL-NATURAL STRAWBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the strawberries and toss the pieces into a 2 quart saucepan.
• Add honey, vanilla bean, and seeds and bring to a boil. You may have to add ¼ C of water, depending on how juicy your strawberries are. Cook the mixture until the strawberries are tender and cooked, about 10 minutes. As long as you leave the mixture on medium heat, you can walk away from pot. Just make sure the pot has enough moisture so the sauce won't burn (you can add more water if necessary).
• When the strawberries are cooked and the sauce thickens to a syrup-like consistency, add the balsamic vinegar and continue to cook for a few minutes longer to thicken again.

• Whisk cornstarch mixture into strawberry mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth.
