How to Make Fresh Strawberry Topping
- In a medium bowl, gently toss 2 cups fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand for 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, to allow the sugar to dissolve and the strawberries to release their juices.
- While the strawberries macerate, process 1/2 cup strawberry jam in a food processor until completely smooth.
- Transfer the smooth jam to a small saucepan.
- Bring the jam to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it darkens and loses its frothiness (about 3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Pour the cooked jam over the macerated strawberries and gently stir to combine.
- Let the mixture cool completely. Once cool, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
- Spoon generously over your favorite dessert – cheesecake, pound cake, or ice cream – and enjoy!
