Combine 14 ounces fresh strawberries, ½ cup white sugar and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice together in a saucepan and bring to a boil on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Turn down to low heat and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and blend to a smooth sauce (which will coat the back of a spoon*). Strain to remove any seeds (optional), then set aside to cool before serving.
