01 Step
Recipe View
In a medium saucepan, combine the hulled strawberries, sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and balsamic vinegar. (2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture simmer gently for 15 minutes, allowing the strawberries to soften and release their juices.
04 Step
Recipe View
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and cornstarch until smooth, creating a slurry. (1 minute)
05 Step
Recipe View
Remove the lid from the saucepan and gently whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering strawberry mixture. (1 minute)
06 Step
Recipe View
Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 1 to 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
07 Step
Recipe View
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully transfer the strawberry sauce to a blender or food processor.
08 Step
Recipe View
Puree the sauce until it is perfectly smooth and velvety. For an extra smooth sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds. (3 minutes)
For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider macerating the hulled strawberries with the sugar for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will draw out even more of their natural juices.
Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. Taste the sauce after simmering and add more sugar if needed.
If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can be used as a substitute to add a touch of acidity.
Store leftover strawberry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
