STRAWBERRY TOPPING

STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM TOPPING

This is so easy and yummy!  Goes very good over waffles or pancakes as well.  I only had frozen (1#) strawberries.  I thawed them and pulsed them a couple of times in the food processor.  We didn't add the 1/3 cup sugar since the strawberries already had sugar in them.  Worked great!


Yield: About 2 cups
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes
1 pint fresh strawberries, rinsed, hulled and coarsely chopped
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.  Set aside about 1/3 of the chopped strawberries.
2. Combine the remaining strawberries and sugar in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat.  Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved strawberries and vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before using. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.
