1/2Lemon Zested
1CupSugar or Low Carb Sweetener
1/3cupwater
1/2tspSalt
1tspVanilla
1/4tspXanthan gumor Cornstarch + 1 tbsp Water

Instructions
Prep your strawberries by removing the hull and slicing them in half or in quarters. Set aside 1/2 cup of the strawberries to stir in at the end (if desired).
Add the strawberries, lemon juice, zest, sweetener, and salt to a pot and stir.
Preheat your grill to 225 F and set it for indirect heat. Cook for 30 minutes and stir at the halfway mark. The strawberries should be simmering and breaking down. Stirring will continues to macerate them.
Remove the strawberry sauce from the grill. In a small bowl, combine the xanthan gum or cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water and whisk until dissolved. Whisk it into the sauce and allow it to cool slightly until it is just warm.
Stir in the vanilla and taste test to see if you desire additional sweetener. Transfer to a jar or container and store in the fridge for up to 7 days. Pour on your favorite keto ice cream, pound cake or chicken recipe!
