Our next recipe is a handy one to pull out of the bag to use with lots of desserts (see suggestions at the end of this blog): Versatile Strawberry Sauce
Versatile Strawberry sauce
(Makes a deep cereal bowl full)
Ingredients
- 400g strawberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- A good splash of fresh orange juice
Method
- Cut the tops off the strawberries and halve or quarter them depending on size. Then give them a rinse. You could use a strawberry huller to make this easier.
- Give them a rough mash with a masher, to partly squash them (don’t completely mash them).
- Add to a pan with the sugar and orange juice and stir together.
- Bring to the boil whilst stirring.
- Simmer for 5-10 minutes until bubbling gently and looking a little glossy.
- Carefully poor into a bowl and let cool for a while - this will help thicken it up a little.
- Serve warm or cold (you can refrigerate any remaining sauce).
Serving suggestions
We love this to use on makeshift ice-cream sundaes. Break up some shortbread biscuits and crush a little. Arrange layers of this, ice-cream, squirty cream and the sauce into a glass and you have a really scrummy Ice-cream Sundae. You could replace the biscuit with crushed meringue for a makeshift Eton Mess - divine!
The sauce could also be used as an accompaniment for cheesecake, waffles, Greek yoghurt, pancakes, crepes, cake and milkshakes to name but a few!
Another yummy, quick and easy accompaniment to make - we hope you enjoy it!
