Ingredients

You only need 3 ingredients to make this extra fruity sauce:

• Fresh strawberries
• Lemon juice - gives it a nice lift. Bonus, it also helps to preserve the sauce.
• Powdered sweetener - I used a powdered erythritol and monk fruit sweetener blend that is a 1:1 sugar replacement. Pure erythritol, allulose or xylitol will work just as well.

Instructions

This section contains step-by-step instructions and photos that show how to make this recipe. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Step 1: Hull and slice the strawberries. Put them in a blender.

Step 2: Blend to a smooth puree. I blend the berries before cooking because this means I don't have to add additional water to the saucepan and they will cook quicker.

Step 3: Heat the strawberry puree in a saucepan over a low-medium heat together with lemon juice and powdered sweetener. Leave it to bubble away gently.

Step 4: Stir regularly, especially towards the end so the sauce does not stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. After 10-15 minutes the sauce should have reduced by more than half. I ended up with 170 ml sauce (roughly ⅔ cup).

Serve hot or cold - up to you!

Recipe tips

I did not use any thickeners in this sauce. It is thick but pourable. Note that it thickens further as it cools.

If you want an extra thick sauce that's more like jam, add a pinch of xanthan gum or ½ teaspoon of ground chia seeds.

If you prefer a chunkier sauce, simply use the recipe for my sugar free strawberry jam.

Storage

The acidity in the lemon helps preserve the sauce. I've kept it in an airtight container the fridge for over 2 weeks without issues. Alternatively, you can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
