Cooking time: 5 to 8 minutes
Makes 1 cup (250 mL), Serves 4 - 6

  • 1 cup (250 mL) drained yogurt* or sour cream
  • 4 cups (1 L) Ontario Strawberries, washed

(Sauce will continue to thicken on cooling.) Cool. Recipe can be prepared in advance to this point and refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Defrost in the refrigerator. To serve, fold in yogurt or sour cream. Use as dip or sauce for strawberries.
