This simple homemade strawberry sauce is perfect to use as an ice cream topping, cake filling, jam substitute, or whatever else you fancy.
Place the berries, 1/4 cup of water, and sugar in a saucepan and cook until boiling and the berries are soft. Stir in the lemon juice.
In a separate bowl, mix the corn starch with water to make a paste; add this to the boiling fruit mixture, stirring as you pour it in.
Cook 1 more minute, until thick. Remove from heat, cool, and refrigerate. Serve cold.
When you're finished cooking the sauce, pour it slowly into a glass bowl and cover it by setting a piece of plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce. This will keep a "Skin" from forming on the top as it cools; this can also be done with homemade pudding.
