Strawberry Ice Cream Topping Recipes

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SAUCE (TOPPING)

Steps:

• Whisk the cornstarch and water together until all the cornstarch has dissolved. (I just use a fork to mix-very easy.)
• Place the cornstarch mixture, along with the rest of the ingredients, into a small saucepan over medium heat. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, stir the mixture as it cooks. Break up some of the strawberries as you stir.
• Bring it to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. After 5 minutes, remove pan from the heat and allow to cool. The mixture will thicken as it cools.
• You can serve the sauce warm before it cools completely if desired, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Strawberry topping will be thick after refrigeration, so microwave for 15 seconds or warm on the stove to thin out, if desired.

STRAWBERRY SAUCE {WITH CANNING INSTRUCTIONS}

Steps:

• Add prepared strawberries and sugar to a large bowl. Toss to coat well. Chill for at least one hour.
• Prepare a water bath for canning, fill with enough water to cover jars by 1-inch of water. Remove rings, set aside. Place lids in a small saucepan. Place empty jars in water, cover and bring to a boil. Boil jars for 10 minutes, carefully removing with tongs and emptying water back into canning pot. Rest hot jars open end up, on a clean kitchen towel. Pour 1 jar worth of hot liquid into saucepan containing the lids.
• Add strawberry mixture to a 5-quart or larger pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir frequently. Remove strawberries to a clean bowl, leaving strawberry liquid behind. Continue cooking liquid until it thickens and has reduced some, roughly 15 minutes.
• Return strawberries to pan, cooking and stirring for 15-20 minutes. Skim off any foam.
• Divide mixture between sterilized jars. Wipe clean, place top and ring on. Carefully add to water bath, boiling for 5 minutes.
• Carefully remove jars to a clean towel. Allow jars to rest undisturbed for 12 hours. Listen for the list to pop. If they pop, your jars are sealed. If they do not seal, store in the refrigerator and use within 2 weeks.

HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY ICE CREAM TOPPING

Steps:

• Set aside about 1/3 of the chopped strawberries.
• Combine the remaining strawberries and sugar in a 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the reserved strawberries and vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before using. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.
