Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place 1/2 cup of the sliced strawberries and the unsweetened apple juice into a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in color.
  3. Pour the blended mixture into a medium saucepan.
  4. Sprinkle the cornstarch over the liquid and whisk vigorously until fully dissolved and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
  5. Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly with a spoon or whisk.
  6. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and begins to bubble gently.
  7. Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in the remaining 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries.
  8. Let the sauce stand for one minute to allow the residual heat to warm the added berries without cooking them further.
  9. Serve the sauce warm over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or fresh fruit.
