- 2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Combine strawberries, honey, and mint leaves in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until honey dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Pour mixture into blender. Pour the sauce into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the sauce moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches, if necessary, until smooth. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the sauce right in the cooking pot.
- Strain sauce through a fine mesh sieve. Stir in lemon juice. Serve warm or room temperature.
