Homemade strawberry sauce, it’s easy to make and tastes yummy…
I cannot resist strawberries, they are very dear to me. I fall for anything with a hint of strawberries in it. And, I always have strawberries stored in my refrigerator. A bowl of strawberries when placed as a centrepiece enhances the whole dining table setting. Who can possibly resist strawberries dipped in chocolate??? There are a million ways of incorporating strawberries into cooking and baking.
