STORAGE AND REHEATING NOTES:

You can store your strawberry sauce in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Remember to use a glass jar or a preserving jar for best results. If you have some leftovers, you can freeze them too.

Then, when you want to use the sauce, just set the jar on the countertop until it warms up a bit and reaches that pourable consistency again.

HELPFUL TIPS & SUBSTITUTIONS:

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries For the Recipe?

You can use both frozen and fresh strawberries to put the sauce together. Just remember to halve and hull them before you use them for the recipe.

How Do I Make the Strawberry Sauce Thicker?

Since there are no thickening agents added into the mix, the sauce will have a slightly runny consistency. If you want to thicken it, you can add a teaspoon of chia seeds or a little cornstarch slurry into it while it is still on heat, and give it a good mix.

Can I Skip the Lemon Juice?

Lemon juice really brightens up the flavor of the sauce, and balances the sweetness of the sugar with its tanginess. You can totally skip adding the lemon juice if you don’t have it at hand or if it is not your thing.
