a simple strawberry sauce


The aroma of cooked strawberries is one of those delicious natural scents that I can never get enough of. This homemade strawberry sauce in no way disappoints. You can pair it with cake or ice cream, or both (my preference...). It's also the easiest recipe to trick people into thinking you're some sort of fancy pants, chef extraordinaire. 
How I made it: Rough chopped a pint of strawberries. Added 1 tbsp of sugar, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (orange juice works well too), pinch of black pepper and simmer over the stove until the strawberries break down and get all saucy. Serve hot or cooled.
(PS. Keep this in mind for summer patio months. Take the above sauce, puree, then strain it. You can then add the coulis to drinks! I love using it to jazz up vodka lemonades)
