What each ingredient does
- Strawberries
- Provide the main fruit flavor and bulk of the sauce.
- Sugar
- Sweetens the sauce and draws juice out of the strawberries as it sits.
The step that matters
Heat until boiling, then remove from heat. Heating to a boil softens the strawberries and thickens the juices into a sauce. Removing it promptly at that point keeps the fresh flavor from turning dull or overly cooked.
