This morning I had about 10 strawberries on there last leg so to speak so I put them into small sauce pan tops removed of course. Then I added 1 cup of frozen strawberries 1/4 C Truvia and 1 tablespoon of water. I let them come to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickened.
I took it off the heat and cooled it for about 5 minutes. Then it went into the blender for a whril! I did not strain the sauce. If I were serving the king or another chef I would have strained it. I pour it over some crazy crepes filled with vanilla yogurt and fresh strawberries. Try it! You just might like it!
