How to Make Crimson Strawberry Sundae Topper

In a medium bowl, gently combine 1 pound of fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, the zest of 1 lime, and 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or tartness by adding more sugar (1-2 tablespoons at a time) or lime juice (1 teaspoon at a time) as needed.
Let the strawberry mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld and the strawberries to release their juices.
Spoon generously over your favorite ice cream or cheesecake. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a few extra lime zest shavings for an extra touch of elegance.
