How to Make Brandied Strawberry Sauce

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons brandy. Bring to a boil over medium heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and gently stir in 1 pint (approximately 2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced.
  3. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries have softened and released their juices.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  5. Slowly whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering strawberry mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  6. Remove from heat and let the sauce cool completely to room temperature.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
  8. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
