Ingredients

1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
0.33 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

Rinse, hull, and halve the fresh strawberries.
In a saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and vanilla extract (if desired) over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture begins to simmer and juices release.
Continue to stir the mixture. Mash a portion of the strawberries with a wooden spoon or spatula to help create the syrup. Simmer until the sauce thickens to your liking, approximately 15 minutes. Then, remove from heat.
Carefully transfer about 1/3 of the strawberry sauce into a blender. Secure the lid and hold it firmly with a potholder, then blend until smooth.
Pour the pureed strawberry mixture back into the saucepan with the remaining sauce, stirring until fully combined.
Spoon over cheesecake, ice cream, or your favorite dessert for a burst of strawberry goodness.
