    This Simple No-Cook Strawberry Sauce is incredibly easy to make and only contains 2 ingredients! Use it in drinks like Korean Strawberry Milk, or as a sauce on top of cake.

    Now that summer strawberries are in season, it's time to make this easy and versatile Strawberry Sauce!

    Why you'll love this recipe

    It's a fast and easy way to make strawberry sauce.

    To preserve the fresh strawberry flavour, there is no need to cook this sauce.

    There's only 2 ingredients in it!

    Only 2 ingredients

    • fresh strawberries: rinsed and hulled
    • granulated sugar: you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste

    Note: the amount of sugar you'll need is dependent on how sweet your strawberries are.

    How to choose strawberries

    Look for bright, red strawberries with fresh, green leaves.

    Once the berries are picked, they will not ripen any further. (So avoid berries with whiteness near the stem).

    Strawberries should be firm and plump.

    Give the berries a sniff -- fresh strawberries will emit a sweet scent.

    Check for any damaged, bruised berries, which can easily cause the strawberries to grow mold.

    Buy local if you can.

    Cooking vs. no-cook

    I experimented with cooking down the strawberries and found the flavour dissipated quite a bit.

    That's why I like this no-cook method.

    It's much easier, and you retain that fresh, vibrant strawberry flavour. 

    How to make it

    Place the fresh strawberries and sugar into a blender.

    Blend until the mixture is smooth.

    How to store

    Store in a clean, sterile container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    (Yields 2 Cups).

    How to use

    Use it in drinks, such as Korean Strawberry Milk, or as a sauce to serve in desserts like Japanese Cotton Cheesecake, or Perfect Swiss Roll Cake.

    It's even delicious on toasted Matcha Shokupan.

      I love strawberries and buy tons of them in the summer! I never thought to make strawberry sauce to use up the leftover ones -- but I definitely have plenty sitting in my fridge - can't wait to try your recipe this week!
