Strawberry Sauce

Strawberry Sauce

My kids absolutely love their pancakes, waffles, french toast, or crepes topped with strawberry sauce (they get this love from their Papa Loren, who LOVES strawberry sauce too). I made a batch this weekend and needless to say, they LOVED it! This sauce takes minutes to make and will make your breakfast treats taste so amazing. It’s really wonderful on top of ice cream too.

  1. This looks great. I wonder how the calories compares to (real) maple syrup which I tend to drown my pancakes in 🙂 ? Do you know?

      I calculated the calories for this recipie in the myfitnesspal app and I found it to be 375 calories for the whole recipe as listed above. Hope that helps you… 6 years later. ;P

  2. I noticed the lemon with the ingredients – is lemon juice part of the recipe? I personally love to add it to sauces…

    1. Amy,

      It never lasts long enough to freeze but I am guessing, yes. Let me know how it turns out.

      Cheers,
