    Fresh Strawberries

    During Strawberry season, I always have Fresh Strawberries on hand. I typically go through a half flat of strawberries a week. I have one of the best Strawberry Farms just a couple of miles from my house.

    These juicy strawberries don't last very long in my house so I don't often get to make new recipes with them. This time though I told my wife I wanted to reserve about 1 pound of the strawberries to make a sauce that we could use as a topping for a new Cheesecake Recipe I was making.

    Making the Strawberry Sauce is the easy part. It's the hulling and chopping of the strawberries that take a long time. Hulling strawberries is the fancy term for removing the green leaves (aka the calyx) from the berry.

    🍓 Can I use Frozen Strawberries

    Yes you can. Since I always have fresh strawberries on hand, I have not had the chance to make this strawberry sauce using frozen strawberries. If you are going to make this sauce with frozen strawberries there is no need to defrost or thaw them out ahead of time. Just throw them in the saucepan frozen and follow the rest of the recipe.
