Simple Homemade Strawberry Sauce (no refined sugar)
This homemade strawberry sauce is so versatile. I’ve used it in sweet buns and cakes and dolloped it liberally over ice-cream.
Using fresh strawberries (great for using up any leftover fruit), this sauce is whipped in minutes. Not only is it super simple to make but it has no refined sugar, getting its sweetness from a touch of honey. There’s also a few chia seeds thrown in for good measure.
This sauce hasn’t been strained. You could omit the chia seeds and strain (or puree) yours if you preferred. I like it as it is, especially when added to a frosting or glaze.

Notes
I use grams in my recipes as weighing ingredients is the most accurate method. However, if cups are your thing, you can convert my measurements at Cook it Simply.
