How to Make Strawberry Dessert Sauce
- Hull and mash 1 cup of fresh strawberries.
- Set the mashed strawberries aside.
- In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1/4 cup water until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
- Reduce heat to low and continue to cook and stir for 1-2 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Gently stir in the mashed strawberries.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
- Transfer the sauce to a small bowl or airtight container.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to chill completely. This also helps the sauce thicken further.
