Strawberry sauce

This is going to be a very exciting recipe!  Only 2 ingredients - strawberries and sugar!  Now that strawberries are back in season, I'm buying 2-3 containers each time they're on sale.  Sometime we do a great job eating them all for snacks, but other times they're about to go bad and I need to do something with them.  I thought I'd try a strawberry sauce to use for waffles or pancakes, and it turned out great. Here are the simple steps:

Dump your strawberries into a blender and blend away. This works with any number of berries.  Add sugar as desired.  I've also added Splenda before, and its good (but real sugar tastes better, of course). Taste to see if you need more sugar.

Put a sandwich size ziploc into a plastic cup, and fold the edges over the top of the cup.  Pour the sauce into the cup (using multiple bags if necessary).  Remove bag from cup and let air out as much as possible without spilling.

Place bag in freezer lying flat and freeze until you're ready to use!  When you're ready to thaw, you can stick it in the fridge for a few hours, or for a quick thaw, set it under warm running water.


Enjoy with your favorite waffle or pancake recipe!
