- 16 oz strawberries
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ tbsp cornstarch
- 1½ tbsp water

- Hull the strawberries and cut them into even bite-size pieces. Set aside about a third of them (roughly 6 oz) to add at the end.
- Put the rest of the strawberries and the sugar in a 2-quart saucepan and bring to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute as the berries release their juice.

- Lower the heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until thick and glossy.
- Take it off the heat and let it cool in a bowl for about 30 minutes. Stir in the strawberries you set aside.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.
