Remove the tops from your strawberries, clean them, and cut them into thick slices.
Put the cut strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small or medium pot on the stove.
Heat over medium high heat until the berries release moisture and they are boiling.
Reduce heat to medium and continue simmering to make the sauce, about 10-15 minutes.
Store in a container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer up to 6 months.
Notes
If using frozen fruit, either let thaw and drain or thicken as described in note 3 as frozen fruit has a lot more moisture.
Sauce too thick? Add water.
Sauce too thin? Continue cooking or keep the same quantity but thicken by mixing a small amount of cornstarch with a little water and then adding it to the pot to cook. The cornstarch needs heat to thicken. The exact amount you need will vary with how thin the sauce is. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon.
