• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved

⅓ cup white sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla (Optional)

Directions

Hull strawberries and cut them in half.

Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture sizzles and juice begins to form.

Continue stirring; mash a few strawberries with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to help produce the syrup. Cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Transfer 1/3 of the strawberry sauce to a blender. Cover and hold the lid down with a potholder while you puree the mixture.

Add pureed mixture back into the remaining sauce and stir until blended.

Serve over a slice of cheesecake.
