Easy Strawberry Sauce

Mmmmm, strawberry sauce, I love it on almost anything.  Just give me a second to think of all the ways I love me some of that sweet oozy sauce...on waffles, ice cream, crepes, angel food cake, biscuits, pancakes, english muffins, cheesecake...oh the list could go on.   This recipe couldn't be easier so get to it already!

Easy Strawberry Sauce

1 quart hulled strawberries
1/2 cup water
1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
juice of 1/2 a lemon

Whisk 1/2 cup sugar and corn starch together in a small pot.  Quarter strawberries into pot and then mix thoroughly and then add water.  Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes or until  sauce has thickened and strawberries begin to soften and break down a bit.  Taste sauce and add sugar if needed, it will depend on how sweet your strawberries were to begin with.  Remove from heat and add a generous squeeze of lemon, stir and serve.
