Sensational Strawberry Sauce

This is a really simple recipe and is a perfect enhancer for a rather bland dessert. Also, it has the goodness of strawberry!





RECIPE
Ingredients:
  • Fresh, ripe strawberries (small - medium) - 1- 1 1/2 cups 
  • Sugar- 1 cup
  • Water - 1 cup

Method:
In a deep-bottomed vessel, add the water and sugar (in that order) an let it boil.
Remove the leaves and keep them uncut. Add the uncut strawberries and cook the strawberries in sugar water in medium heat (HOT TIP: Cooking in high flame may cause the strawberry pulp to stick to the vessel. Plus you run a risk of burning it!) and keep stirring it continuously.
You will see that the full fruits slowly turn into a thick pulp merging with the sugar water.
It may not be the best thing to add more sugar as the fruit's natuaral sweetness will just work fine.
Remove from heat when you achieve desired thickness.
Let it cool and serve with the dessert of your choice.

Serving Suggestions:
  • Make your plain vanilla ice cream or custard more flavourful with this sauce.
  • This sauce if made thicker, could work well as a spread for breads.
  • Add a spoonfull of this sauce and blend it with cold milk and server a yummy homemade milkshake.
