My easy Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce makes the perfect topping for yogurt, ice cream, pancakes and more. Just 4 simple ingredients! Trim Healthy Mamas, this is a delicious THM FP recipe.
While strawberries are available year round, the very best strawberries are freshly picked from a local source. They’re sweeter, juicier, and burst with the strawberry goodness that just says summer.
Farm stands and U-Pick berry farms are a great place to get your in-season berries. Unless, of course, you happen to have them growing in your garden.
I’ve been busy creating recipes this summer with two of my favorite summer produce items – strawberry and rhubarb. If you like rhubarb be sure and check out my Low Carb Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce.
Since some people can’t have rhubarb, or don’t like it, I decided a strawberry version should go on the blog.
It’s super easy to make and only takes a few simple ingredients. No thickeners needed, either.
How To Make Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce.
First, you need some strawberries. Fresh or frozen work. However, for the best flavor choose fresh, local, in-season berries.
Next, add the berries and a bit of water to a sauce pan and bring to a boil. If you’re using frozen berries, omit the water.
The strawberries will get very soft and mashable as they cook. I just use a potato masher to stir and mash them. If you want a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender and puree.
Finally, add the sweetener to taste. I also throw a pinch of pink salt into all the things, including this sugar free strawberry sauce recipe. It’s totally optional, though.
Keep in a tightly closed container in the fridge. It doesn’t last long in our house (my son likes it like jam on his PB&J sandwiches) but I’d say it keeps at least a week.
