Fresh Homemade Strawberry Sauce

For Valentine's Day, I made some Nutella French Toast and knew the perfect pairing to it would be some homemade strawberry sauce on top.

Ingredients:
1 pint of strawberries
1/3 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon almond (or vanilla) extract
 

Wash the strawberries well, then hull and quarter.

Place in a large pot over medium heat and add the sugar and extract.

These beauties needed a closeup.

Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to break down the strawberries. The aroma is intoxicating!

Let the berries cool for a bit and then put in a blender or food processor and puree.

Perfect topping for the Nutella French Toast!

Can the rest and enjoy later!
