Adjust the sugar to taste, depending on the sweetness of your strawberries. For a more intense flavor, macerate the strawberries with the sugar and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking. A pinch of salt can enhance the sweetness of the strawberries. Store leftover strawberry topping in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
