Homemade Strawberry Sauce

Making homemade strawberry sauce is simple. I like making my own because it's so simple and I can experiment.

Start with a few cups of strawberries--or any berries for that matter--in a saucepan.

Add a half-cup of granulated sugar, two tablespoons of water and a teaspoon of real vanilla extract.

Stir until combined. Heat over medium burner until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer--stirring occasionally, until berries have broken down and sauce has thickened.

You can serve this hot or put it in a container in the refrigerator to chill. I really like it hot over angel food cake with whipped topping. Enjoy!
