Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, stemmed and halved
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- Pinch table salt
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest plus 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Ice cream, for serving
- Crushed salted peanuts, for topping
Instructions
- Add the strawberries, sugar and salt to a small saucepan. Mix the cornstarch with 1/2 cup water in a small bowl and add it to the saucepan. Slowly heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat so it’s at a very gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon zest and juice and let cool.
- Serve over ice cream with salted peanuts on top.

Reviews
Very good. Easy to do and has a good balance of sweet to sour – of course, all depends on the quality of the strawberries, which these days is generally tasteless.
Easy and so DELICIOUS!!!!!
This was a crowd favorite! Used it on ice cream and it was so flavorful. The whole house smelled like strawberries.
Awesome! Saves for a few days in the fridge and it’s just as good cold.
Strawberry lover here. Easy and very tasty.
