Fresh Strawberry sauce - A great way to make fresh strawberries last longer



This zingy strawberry sauce recipe is so simple to make and is relatively low in calories
It makes enough for 17 x (15ml) tablespoon servings, or one nice jar to keep in the fridge


Turn your fresh strawberries into sauce and make them go further, and last longer

First wash your strawberries (I used about 20 small strawberries) 
200g hulled strawberries
Place them in a bowl and mash with a fork
Then add 
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sifted icing sugar


Depending on how ripe the strawberries are, you can leave them a bit lumpy
Or use a stick blender to make the sauce smooth
Either way, this fresh sauce packs a punch with great flavour!


I used it to make this fab dessert (65 calories)

Only 14 calories per 1 (15ml) tablespoon serve for the sauce

3 fresh strawberries cut in half - 9 cal
30g Gippsland Plain/Vanilla yoghurt - 41.7 cal
1 tablespoon fresh strawberry sauce - 14 cal
Sprig of mint to decorate

This sauce would also be great mixed through Greek yoghurt.
