Why You Will Love This Recipe

Most store-bought jams and sauce have so much extra sugar added to them but did you know it is super easy to make fruit sauce at home? After making my Slow Cooker Homemade Applesauce (No Sugar) I was wondering if you could do the same thing with other types of fruits and this is the first time I’ve been able to get strawberries to work.

It took me a couple of tries to get this right but I finally did and I was very impressed with the taste and how much the sauce was so much like a jam consistency without using any pectin or cornstarch. Then I got super excited as to what this sauce could go on top of.

There’s no reason to add any extra sugar or sugar substitutes this recipe because the fruit is sweet enough on their own.

This sugar-free strawberry sauce is great for people who are low carb, keto, or trying to cut back on sugar intake.

It can easily be doubled or tripled. I like to make smaller batchers for myself.

Tips for Sugar-Free Strawberry Sauce

A pound of strawberries boiled down will equal about a ¾ cup to 1 cup of sauce. There are 12 tablespoons of sauce per ¾ cup and 16 tablespoons for 1 cup.

The whole entire cup is zero points. You can double the sauce and add more strawberries to make more.

This sauce is zero points because the strawberries are not blended, they are simply boiled down to the sauce consistency.

What to Serve with Strawberry Sauce?

Imagine this super tasty sugar-free strawberry sauce on top of peanut butter toast, vanilla bean ice cream, Banana Bread Waffles, Blackstone Protein Pancakes, etc.

To make banana chocolate chip ice cream simply puree some frozen sliced bananas in a blender or food processor and top with strawberry sauce.
