Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 3 tbsp (45 ml) warm water

Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved.
- (I just use a fork to mix—very easy.).
- Place the cornstarch mixture, along with the rest of the ingredients, into a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture as it cooks.
- Break up some of the strawberries as you stir.
- Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
- After 5 minutes, remove pan from the heat and allow to cool.
- The mixture will thicken as it cools.
- You can serve the sauce warm before it cools completely if desired, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Strawberry topping will be thick after refrigeration, so microwave for 15 seconds or warm on the stove to thin out, if desired.
