Homemade Strawberry Sauce

Strawberry Sauce
This is a super easy, super simple homemade strawberry sauce I've made a few times in the last year to top waffles and pancakes.  I was able to get a pic of it last time so I can finally post it here.  :)  I use frozen strawberries for this, making it even easier.  I use vanilla sugar to make this sauce extra tasty.  For a special treat, top homemade waffles with this strawberry sauce and whipped cream.  Or try it with vanilla ice cream!

1 pound bag frozen strawberries (sliced works well)
2 tablespoons sugar or vanilla sugar (or sweetener of choice)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
3-4 tablespoons water

1.  Add the strawberries and sugar to a medium-sized heavy saucepan.  Heat at medium-low until the sugar melts, then turn up the heat to medium and bring to a boil.  Once it boils, remove from heat and lightly mash the strawberries using a potato masher, or a fork or wooden spoon.

2.  Return to heat and bring back to a boil, then dissolve cornstarch into the water (using a small jar or air-tight container) and add to the pot. Stir the sauce and continue boiling for another couple minutes until it thickens.  Serve warm over pancakes, waffles, or ice cream.
