Chunky Strawberry Sauce

Strawberries mashed then cooked with sugar and thickener to a chunky sauce. Lemon juice brightens, salt deepens flavor. Reserve part of the berries diced for texture contrast. Sauce thickens softly on gentle heat. Cool fully to set. Good on ice cream, pancakes. Cornstarch replaced by arrowroot for clarity and gloss. Agave replaces sugar for subtle sweetness. Slightly altered steps and cooking times. Sensory cues crucial: watch bubbling and thickening. Avoid gritty sauce from uncooked starch or overcooked fruit. Keep heat low to steady simmer, stir constantly to prevent scorching. Chill before use and stir to maintain consistency.
