How to Make Simple Strawberry Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup strawberry jam (or your preferred jam), and 1/2 cup water. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 3 tablespoons cold water until smooth and no lumps remain.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to stir constantly.
- Bring the sauce back to a gentle boil, stirring continuously for 1 minute to cook out the raw cornstarch flavor.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
