Strawberry sauce for pancakes Recipe

American · Condiment · 15 min total

A quick and easy strawberry sauce that's perfect for drizzling over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. Made with fresh or frozen strawberries, this sweet and tangy sauce comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, hulled and halved
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional, for thicker sauce)

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until strawberries release their juices and mixture comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until strawberries are soft and sauce has slightly thickened.
3. If desired, for a thicker sauce, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for 1-2 more minutes until thickened.
4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool slightly before serving. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

Tips

• For a smoother sauce, blend with an immersion blender or in a regular blender after cooking.
• Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Serve warm or at room temperature over pancakes, waffles, French toast, or ice cream.
