Ingredients

4-5 cups strawberries, washed, stems removed, and halved
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

Transfer the prepared strawberries to a food processor. Process until the strawberries are pureed and completely smooth.
Strain the pureed strawberries into a saucepan through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding any seeds or pulp left in the sieve. Add the sugar and vanilla extract.
Over medium-high heat, bring to a boil. Once boiling, boil for 1 minute before reducing the heat to low. Allow the syrup to simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until syrupy.
Turn off the heat and allow the sauce to cool for 20 minutes before transferring it to a glass, food-safe bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate to chill for another 40 minutes.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
