With its bright red hue and intense strawberry bite, it transforms everything it touches. And with five simple ingredients (one being water), a homemade strawberry sauce is completely attainable for even the most novice cooks.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Sauce Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strawberries:<\/strong> Use fresh or frozen strawberries in this strawberry sauce recipe. If using frozen, thaw the strawberries first, then drain the excess liquid. If using fresh, make sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-strawberries\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-strawberries\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">clean the strawberries<\/a> really well to draw out bugs or debris.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> While strawberries are naturally sweet, a few tablespoons of sugar elevate this sauce from refreshing to dessert-worthy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cornstarch:<\/strong> Cornstarch thickens the sauce so it\u2019s nice and viscous. The last thing we want is a runny, liquid sauce soaking into our desserts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lemon juice:<\/strong> The last step is to squeeze fresh lemon juice into the strawberry sauce recipe to brighten it up a touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mash the strawberries<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Homemade-Strawberry-Sauce_TOH25_26549_DR_01_31_01b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Mash strawberries; set aside.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Using a potato masher or a fork, mash the strawberries, and then set them aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Thicken the sauce base<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Homemade-Strawberry-Sauce_TOH25_26549_DR_01_31_02b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Homemade-Strawberry-Sauce_TOH25_26549_DR_01_31_03b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Bring to a boil; cook\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook and stir the mixture until it\u2019s thickened, about two minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add the strawberries and lemon juice<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Homemade-Strawberry-Sauce_TOH25_26549_DR_01_31_04b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Stir in strawberries; remove from the heat.\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Stir in the strawberries, then remove the saucepan from the heat.<\/p>\n<p>Stir in the lemon juice, then transfer the strawberry sauce to a small bowl.

It can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make strawberry sauce ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>Absolutely! Strawberry sauce can be made up to four days ahead of time. Use up the sauce by the fifth day and discard any leftovers after that.<\/p>\n<h2>Strawberry Sauce Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Homemade-Strawberry-Sauce_TOH25_26549_DR_01_31_06b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Homemade Strawberry Sauce \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">DAN ROBERTS FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you make strawberry sauce perfectly smooth?<\/h3>\n<p>Prefer a smoother strawberry sauce over a chunky one?

Keep in mind, though, that those berries are tarter than strawberries. You may prefer that, but if not, add a little more sugar to the recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you serve strawberry sauce hot or cold?<\/h3>\n<p>Strawberry sauce can be served hot or cold. It\u2019s completely up to your preference! For example, some people prefer warm strawberry sauce on their ice cream, while others want everything to be as chilled as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This colorful
