Strawberry and Vanilla Sauce
byAnnie Starke
Total 30 mins, includes cooling time
Active 20 mins
Makes 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
3 cups strawberries, finely chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 vanilla bean, split
Directions
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries cook down to a pulp and the sauce becomes juicy, about 15 minutes. Pass the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down on the solids. Stir the vanilla bean into the purée. Set aside and let infuse for about 10 minutes.
Remove the vanilla bean and pour the sauce into a mason jar.
