Time 2h30m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs strawberries, cleaned, hulled, and cut lengthwise into 1/4-to 1/8-inch slices
1/2 cup sugar
1 pinch salt
1 cup strawberry jam (about 11 ounces)
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Toss berries with sugar and salt in a medium bowl. Let them stand for about 30 minutes to dissolve sugar, tossing occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, process jam in food processor until smooth; transfer to small saucepan. Bring jam to simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently until dark and no longer frothy, about 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice; pour over strawberries and stir to combine. Let cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours.
  • To serve, spoon a portion of topping over each slice of cheesecake, poundcake or scoop of vanilla ice cream!
