Notes
While this sauce is cooking, I usually slice up an additional 2-3 cups of strawberries and put in fridge until ready to serve. When serving with pound cake, I will usually add some of the sliced berries and then pour the topping over all.
The color of this sauce will obviously vary depending on the berries you choose. If made with all strawberries, it's a more orange red. Since we grow raspberries, I often make this with half raspberries and half strawberries or some other ratio of those two berries.
