Strawberry Sauce

So, I got a Belgian waffle maker for Christmas this year from my boys. I’ve been under the weather so now that I’m feeling better it was time to try it out! I love, love, love Belgian waffles and I wanted something more than butter and syrup to top them with so I made this super easy strawberry sauce based on the blueberry sauce also shared in this blog. If you’ve read my blog for a while, you know we pick strawberries every year in nearby Plant City so I used what I had frozen. This is so easy to make it’s ridiculous!

Not only was this delicious on our Belgian waffles, it would be yummy over some vanilla ice cream too! Before I get to the recipe, a word about sugar: I used the least amount of sugar to begin, tasted the mixture after mashing the berries and added a bit more. Remember you can always add more but you can’t take away!
