Fresh strawberries are gently boiled with sugar and lemon to make a sauce that pairs perfectly with cheesecake and ice cream. Its intense fruit flavor and bright color add both taste and visual appeal to desserts.
Wash and hull the strawberries. Roughly chop half and lightly mash the rest with a fork.
Put the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from the heat once it reaches your preferred consistency.
Let the sauce cool to lukewarm at room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator. It will thicken as it cools. Drizzle over desserts to serve.
Important: cook the sauce to your preferred consistency; a longer boil gives it a thick, jam-like texture. Let it cool before serving so the consistency settles. It can be kept in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for a week.
