Irresistible Strawberry Vanilla Breakfast Sauce

Ingredients

- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries:
- Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water. Gently hull and halve each strawberry, ensuring they are clean and ready for cooking.

2. Combine Ingredients:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir gently to mix all ingredients well.

3. Cook the Sauce:
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

4. Simmer and Thicken:
- Let the sauce simmer for approximately 10-15 minutes (PT15M), or until the strawberries have softened significantly and the mixture has thickened slightly. Continuously stir to avoid burning.

5. Add Vanilla Extract:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract, mixing well to incorporate the flavor evenly throughout the sauce.

6. Blend the Sauce (Optional):
- For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender to carefully blend the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can skip this step.

7. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the sauce to cool before transferring it to a serving dish. This sauce can be served warm over pancakes, waffles, or toast for a breakfast delight.
