Ingredients

2 c sliced fresh strawberries = 12 ounces whole
1 c water
1/3 c sugar

Instructions

Wash, stem and cap strawberries. Cut into thick slices. Place strawberries, water, and sugar in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer, stirring often, until thickened and reduced-about 25 minutes. Strawberries will fall apart, syrup will turn deep red, and liquid should coat a spoon and drip off slowly.
Remove from heat and pour into a clean storage jar. Let cool on the counter for 15 minutes before storing in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

To freeze: pour into a freezer safe jar and leave 1/2 inch of headspace. Use within 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight then use within 1 week.

Sauce should be completely cooled before using in baking. Can be used warm over breakfast goods or ice cream.
