Supreme Strawberry Topping

Instructions

• Hull strawberries and cut them in half.
• Combine strawberries, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture sizzles and juice begins to form.
• Continue stirring; mash a few strawberries with a wooden spoon or heat-proof spatula to help produce the syrup. Cook until sauce thickens, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Transfer 1/3 of the strawberry sauce to a blender. Cover and hold the lid down with a potholder while you puree the mixture.
• Add pureed mixture back into the remaining sauce and stir until blended.
• Serve over a slice of cheesecake.
