Strawberry Recipes

It's strawberry season where I live in the Southern Tier of New York.  For a lazy, warm, Sunday, I'd like to share some strawberry recipes with you.

Here are some I've had on my blog in the past:

Chocolate covered strawberries 

Low sugar strawberry jam 

Strawberry topped angel food cake (from a mix) 

Today, I want to share with you an easy strawberry sauce you can drizzle onto pancakes,waffles or french toast.  It's a great way to use up overripe strawberries, and was taught to me by my late childhood best friend when we had our last quality visit together in July of 2013.

We bought a quart of local strawberries at the farmer's market yesterday, and had some strawberries in the fridge that were a bit old (but still edible) so decided to make this sauce.

Strawberry Sauce

Strawberries

Small amount of maple syrup (ideally, real maple syrup and not "pancake syrup").

Method

 

Mash the softened berries.  Add the maple syrup.  Cook under low heat until they are as sauce like as you want.  

These come out chunky so you can mash further if you want smooth.

 

Speaking of strawberry topped angel food cake, this is what we had for dessert last night.  We use a Betty Crocker mix (no compensation for this mention) because it is a one step mix. It's easy, and it can be made in a 9 x 13 inch pan (I don't have a tube pan) with a minor adjustment in the amount of water and how you beat the mix.
