Homemade Strawberry Sauce (Topping)

Ingredients

• Tablespoon cornstarch
• Tablespoon s(45ml) warmwater
• lb strawberries, hulled and slice d in half (you can use frozen; don’t thaw)
• zest and juice from 1/2 small lemon(see note)*
• 1/4 cup(50 g) granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Fresh or frozen strawberries: Hulled & halved.
2. Cornstarch + water: You don’t need much, but you must dissolve the cornstarch in a little water before using. This is called a “slurry”; see raspberry cake filling an example. Without mixing with water, the cornstarch will leave white chunks in your strawberry sauce.
3. Lemon juice + zest: Keeps the flavor bright. The sauce won’t taste like lemon, I promise!
4. Sugar: Just enough to sweeten the sauce without taking away from the strawberry’s natural flavor.
