- When selecting strawberries, look for ones that are bright red, glossy, and firm. Avoid any that are soft, mushy, or have any signs of mold.
- When zesting the lemon, use a fine grater or zester so that you don't get too much of the white pith, which can be bitter.
- Substitute honey for the sugar - Honey is a healthier alternative to sugar, and it can add a subtle floral flavor to the sauce.
- Substitute orange juice for the lemon juice - Orange juice will provide a slightly different flavor profile than the lemon juice, but will still add a nice citrusy flavor to the sauce.
Raspberry Sauce Replace the strawberries with 2 cups of fresh raspberries. Increase the sugar to 1/2 cup. Follow the same instructions as for the strawberry sauce.
