Pacific Red Pineapple Sauce

 

Pacific Red Pineapple Sauce

Ingredients

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

1/2 cup white sugar

1 to 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (to taste)

1 cup pure pineapple juice

Instructions

Place the chopped strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Mash the mixture until the strawberries begin to release their juices.

Transfer the mashed strawberries and their juices to a medium saucepan. Add the lemon juice and pineapple juice, stirring to combine.

Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking, until the sauce thickens and the flavors are well blended.

Serve the sauce warm over cake or brownies, or chill it and spoon over ice cream for a refreshing dessert.
