1 lb Strawberries
2 Tablespoons Sugar

Recipe:

Wash your strawberries and set a few strawberries to the side if you wish to garnish your dessert. Cut off the tops and any bruises. Quarter the strawberries and put them in a bowl.

Add some sugar – depending on how sweet your strawberries are I only add 1 to 2 Tbsp. of sugar.

preparing the strawberries to make sauce

Use a potato masher to smash up the strawberries to your preference.

I like mine to be pretty mashed with a few bigger bits of strawberry.

Once everything is mashed up nicely, place the bowl in the fridge until you need it. Wait at least 1 hour before topping your dessert so the sugar has time to fully dissolve.

Spoon the sauce over your cake, or whatever it is and enjoy!

You can also add a dollop of whipped cream like I did here on this slice of Angel Food Cake. So good!!

Our Baking Essential List:

For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don’t scratch my cookware and are super easy to clean!
To prepare all of those ingredients a Glass Cutting Board is a must. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn’t stick to the blade.
