This strawberry sauce uses super ripe berries from the height of the summer. This recipe has a bit of an edge since it uses black pepper as a complementary flavour. In this sundae, the sauce is paired with vanilla ice cream, mermaid tears, and a cherry on top. It is simple but classic and allows the strawberry sauce to pop.
Summertime is when the fruit is naturally at its sweetest so the recipe has only a small amount of added sugar. If your berries are not flavour-packed or you want to throw a winter ice cream party, add a few more tablespoons of brown sugar to your taste. Other berries would also work for this recipe, such as blackberries or blueberries, though they may require some extra sugar.
