Strawberry Topping

Strawberries in pints

Here’s an easy, sweet summertime dessert, starring freshly picked strawberries!

1 pint strawberries, cleaned and stemmed
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cut about 1/3 of the strawberries in half. In a saucepan over medium high heat, combine all strawberries, sugar and vanilla.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. In a blender, puree about 1/3 of sauce, then mix back into remainder. Store in refrigerator.
