With only three ingredients this strawberry sauce is easy and delicious. It is delicious on top of everything!

We love to use this strawberry topping on cheesecake, ice cream, pancakes or waffles. The possibilities are endless.

Can I Use Other Kinds of Berries?

Yes! The recipe will work with your favorite berry. We love strawberries but you could use raspberries, blueberries or blackberries.

Strawberry Sauce Ingredients

  • Strawberries – 1 pint or 2 cups of berries. This will makes about 1 – 1 1/2 cups of sauce depending on how long you cook it down.
  • Sugar – 1/3-1/2 cup granulated sugar depending on how sweet your strawberries are.
  • Lemon – lemon juice and zest of one lemon

How Long Will It Last?

This sauce will last 3-4 days in the refrigerator stored in an airtight container. It freezes well in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
