For this week’s ice cream treat –silky strawberry sauce poured over vanilla ice cream. A sprinkle of chocolate chips or some crumbled graham crackers adds a bit of crunch.
This recipe actually began 3 weeks ago when we hit up the local strawberry patch. Our harvest was cleaned, dried, hulled, and frozen just for a recipe like this. My little gals helped in every step of the process, but I’m pretty sure they enjoyed digging into these ice cream treats the best!

Place ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir; bring to a boil. Reduced heat to a simmer and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until berries are soft. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
