Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoon granulated sugar can add more sugar if you prefer this more sweeter or if your berries are too tart
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine strawberries and granulated sugar.
- Stir the mixture until well combined.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours to chill.
- The strawberries are ready when they have softened slightly and released their juices, with the sugar mostly dissolved.
- For a thicker sauce, gently mash some of the strawberries with a fork; note that the sauce will remain thin.
- Serve over your favorite desserts.
Notes
You can adjust the sweetness to your taste by adding more sugar if desired.
Allowing the strawberries to chill for longer can enhance their flavor.
Use fresh strawberries for the best taste and texture.
