Homemade fruit topping or sauce! This time it's Strawberry! And cherries!!

There is nothing like making your own fruit topping/sauce.  I guarantee you'll keep making it with this basic recipe and changing the fruit if you choose.  

You’ll see some additional photos where I used bing cherries in the recipe.  Hubby wanted some tonight over vanilla ice cream.  

Enjoy!

1 cup sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 cup water
1 cup strawberries, blueberries or fruit of choice
1 T butter
1/2 tsp. lemon juice (optional)
1 to 2 drops food coloring (optional)

1. In a medium saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a boil. Stirring constantly, cook 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the remaining 1 cup fresh fruit, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in the butter, and pour over  French toast, pancakes or even ice cream.  optional:  Add 1 to 2 drops red food coloring for more color if the strawberries are not super red. That's an option.
