Time 1m

Yield 2-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

fresh strawberries
granulated sugar

Steps:

  • You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
  • First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
  • Then add as much sugar as you wish.
  • The more sugar makes more syrup.
  • I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
  • Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
  • Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
  • (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).

Mom's Simple & Sweet Strawberry Sauce image

This is a sweet, chunky strawberry sauce that my mom would make when we had strawberries. She would put it on ice cream and pancakes. It tastes really good and is very simple. It's good on ice Cream, cakes, waffles, pancakes, and even just plain right off the stove! I think it tastes nicer warm than cold :)

  • Chill the strawberries before serving: Chilling the strawberries before serving will help to intensify their flavor and make them more refreshing.
  • Serve the strawberries with a variety of toppings: You can serve the strawberries with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, granola, or yogurt.

Sweetened strawberries are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great way to use up fresh strawberries, and they can be made in just a few minutes.
