STRAWBERRY SAUCE

STRAWBERRY SAUCE

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Puree strawberries in a food processor

Step 2
Combine strawberries, Swerve, lemon juice, vanilla, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until strawberries reduce a bit, Swerve dissolves, and sauce is heated through, about 15 minutes.

Step 3
Remove from heat and press sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl to remove seeds.

Step 4
Place back on stove top at medium heat and add xantham gum, whisking quickly to thicken (1-2 minutes)

Step 5
Remove from stove top and set aside to let continue to thicken and come to room temperature. Serve instantly over a slice of peanut butter pie, or cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and use later.


Makes about 8 servings or 1 cup.
