How can I make a warm strawberry sauce to top pound cake ans serve with ice cream?

I was thinking of just melting sugar in a pan, then adding strawberries but once the sauce cools the sugar will harden agian. How can I make using fresh strawberries, (possible sugar) into a creamy hot almost jellylike sauce, as mentiioned to top pound cake and serve with ice cream. Do I need to use cornstarch to stop the sugar from hardening, if so how much... Any suggestions?

Are you looking for easy? I would just buy some good strawberry jelly and and warm it up, maybe add a little melted sugar to it too. Heehee!
Reply:Well this might not be the consistency you want, but you could cut up some strawberries and then put that in a sauce pan. Add a bit of sugar and then take about ? of a bottle of a berry wine cooler and put that in the pan. Let it simmer down until it creates a concentrated sauce. Sorry I don’t know the exact measurements, but we put it over our waffles. It’s delicious! Good Luck!
Reply:As you say it is almost like making jam.

wash %26amp; cut your strawberries into a saucepan

add1/2 cup sugar

add 1/2 cup orange juice or apple juice instead of water.

1 tsp cornstarch can be added to the juice to thicken slightly

and heat slowly but it is optional.

remove some of the berries and use a blender to chop them and then return them to sauce.

Spoon over your pound cake or ice cream or crepes

mmmm delicious.
Reply:First make a simple syrup: boil about a cup of water, and dissolve in it 1/2 cup of granulated sugar. Then add your cut up strawberries (about a cup) and let it cook on medium-low until they get however soft you want them, or mush up.



Or, if you're not feeling ambitious, buy a jar of strawberry preserves and microwave 1/2 cup in a bowl with 2 tbsp water, then stir together.
Reply:NO!! dont use cornstarch!! take 10x sugar and put it in a pan of boiling water, reducing it to a syrup, it's called simple syrup, add your strawberries, halved and some crushed strawberries.
