For a more intense strawberry flavor, consider macerating the hulled strawberries with the sugar for about 30 minutes before cooking. This will draw out even more of their natural juices. Adjust the amount of sugar to your liking, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. Taste the sauce after simmering and add more sugar if needed. If you don't have balsamic vinegar on hand, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can be used as a substitute to add a touch of acidity. Store leftover strawberry sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
