Strawberry Sage Sauce

a sweet little topper

Add a splash of pink, and a sweet-savory kiss to just about any simple dessert with this super easy sauce.  Fresh herbs bring out the best in any berry, and really temper the sweetness as well.  Elevate the final course in one drizzle. This sauce goes great on Champagne Granita for a special occasion.

cooking tips

• This is a super versatile simple sauce recipe. Substitute raspberries or blueberries for the strawberries. And use any fresh herb instead of the sage – rosemay and thyme are both nice as well.
• This tops a simple vanilla cake, scoop of ice cream, or my Champagne Granita perfectly.
• When stored in an air-tight container, this may be made 2-3 days in advance.
