Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Combine strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes until the berries release their juice.
  2. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes, mashing about half the berries against the side of the pan with a spoon. The sauce is done when it coats the back of a spoon.
  3. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Spoon over cheesecake while still warm.

Notes

The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. If it sits in the fridge overnight and feels too thick, loosen it with a teaspoon of water and rewarm gently.
