[feast_advanced_jump_to]Expert tips and advice
- The sauce will be delicious if you will use fresh, ripe and bright strawberries. I like to buy mine at farmers market or in the store when in season. The taste of the sauce depend on the taste of the strawberries you choose to use.
- If you want to get the best color and flavor, don’t skip on the lemon juice in the recipe. Squeeze your own juice from the lemon instead of buying a premade one.
- Dont overcook the sauce otherwise it may become mushy and will lose its color. I like to add more fresh strawberries right by the end of cooking time so there is a little bite to it.
Why do i divide strawberries in two portions when cooking? I prefer to have an extra bite to my sauce that’s why i add more fresh strawberries half way through the cooking time. If you prefer the sauce to be on a soft side, add all the strawberries to the pot in the beginning.
The other reason is that i like how glossy and bright colored the strawberry sauce become when fresh strawberries added in the middle. Keep the slices thin or chop them, either way will work.

I presume this is an older article since WW doesn't have the 3 different plans anymore. I just checked the current WW app, 1/4 cup sugar is 15 points so is 4 WW 2024 points. I bought some local in-season strawberries so this will be good to do!
