Step 1
Place the hulled strawberries in a blender or food processor bowl.
Step 2
Pour in 3 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice on top of the berries.
Step 3
Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds, stirring once halfway through, until the mixture is completely smooth with no visible berry chunks, like a thick smoothie.
Step 4
Pour the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing the pulp gently with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid, leaving seeds behind if desired.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and stir in extra sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, if you prefer it sweeter.
