Until recently, chocolate sauce was the only sauce I wanted on an ice cream sundae. Lately, however, this simple strawberry sauce has squeezed its way into my heart and onto my sundaes. It\u2019s subtly sweet, and is just tart enough to beautifully complement creamy desserts like vanilla or strawberry ice cream, couer \u00e0 la cr\u00e8me<\/a>, parfaits, and whipped cream\u2013topped cakes.\n<\/p>\n This easy sauce can easily be doubled, takes just 15 minutes to prep, and requires only three ingredients: frozen strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Because frozen fruit is almost always packaged when it\u2019s at peak ripeness, using frozen berries guarantees that your sauce will taste vividly of strawberries regardless of when during the year you make this. You could certainly use fresh strawberries if you have them, and the sauce is a great use for fruit that is on its last legs.\n<\/p>\n To make the sauce, all you have to do is combine the berries, some water, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over high heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the strawberries are soft, then pur\u00e9e and strain it.\u00a0 The result is a bright, silky sauce you\u2019ll want to pour over all your frozen desserts\u2014or eat by the spoonful.\n<\/p>\n This recipe was originally developed as a component of Kerry Saretsky<\/a>\u2019s couer \u00e0 la cr\u00e8me<\/a> recipe. The headnote was written by Megan O. Steintrager.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n \nEditor’s Note<\/h3>\n
