🧂 Ingredients

1 Wash strawberries and remove stems. Chop strawberries into bite-sized pieces.
Place in medium saucepan over medium heat.
2 Add sugar and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until juices begin
releasing from the berries and sauce reaches a simmer. Reduce heat to low.
3 Using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, crush some of the chopped
berries to add thickness and texture to the sauce.
4 In a small bowl, stir together cornstarch and water to form a 'slurry'. The
cornstarch should be fully dissolved. Pour slowly into simmering strawberry
sauce, stirring until thickened to a sauce consistency. Remove from heat.
5 Stir in vanilla extract. Serve warm, or cool and store in a glass container in
the fridge.
