Don’t you just love it when strawberries come into season? I know that we can get strawberries somewhere all year long but when they REALLY come into season, there are a few strawberry things that I just have to make and this is one of them. Awesome Strawberry Sauce!
As a matter of fact, while I am sitting here typing this post, my daughter is sitting next to me and just said “Mom, I really do just love your Strawberry Sauce.” Can’t get a better endorsement than that! Our family puts this Awesome Strawberry Sauce on cheesecake, pancakes, waffles, french toast and ice cream. This sauce is crazy good on all of those things, but I think our favorite thing to do is with it is to add it to lemonade to make Strawberry Lemonade.
I’m talking restaurant quality, people. Yummers! Just pour some Strawberry Sauce into a glass and then add the lemonade of your choice. We drink these all through summer! After making this Awesome Strawberry Sauce it will stay in the fridge for about a week but you can also freeze it for up to 3 months so that you can have some after the summer ends! You won’t regret it. 
Awesome Strawberry Sauce

My husband is cutting out added refined sugar, so I’m going to try to make this with Stevia instead. Thoughts?
Kristy I’ve never really “cooked” with Stevia before so I don’t now how it will react when bringing to a boil but here’s info straight from their site that might help: https://www.stevia.com/Stevia_Sugar_Substitute.aspx
If you try it, I’d love to know how it came out especially since we have family members that are off sugar too. Thanks so much for stopping by! Deb
I actually have the Stevita brand. We have been using it in Ice Cream and cooking the mixture before putting it in the ice cream machine, and it’s been pretty good! Will let you know when I get around to trying this!
Thanks Kristy! I’d love to hear. Deb
Sounds great…I’d love to hear! Deb
