Ingredients

1 pound strawberries, quartered 

1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar 

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt 

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 

Preparation

Stir together berries, sugar, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, mashing with a potato masher and stirring frequently. Cook at a low boil, stirring more frequently as mixture thickens, until sauce clings to a spoon, about 10 minutes. Skim foam from top. Let cool completely.
