Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups Strawberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 Lemon juiced
  • 1/2 Lemon Zested
  • 1 Cup Sugar or Low Carb Sweetener
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp Xanthan gum or Cornstarch + 1 tbsp Water
  • Additional sugar as needed

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!

Notes

Want the sauce to last a little longer? Add a splash of ever clear or vodka to the mixture to help preserve it.
