First you'll need to make the topping for the sundae. It will have to cool before you can put it on the ice cream, or else it would melt the ice cream!
Farmer Boy Strawberry Topping
Ingredients:
- 4 Cups of fresh strawberries, gently mashed
- 5 Cups of sugar
- Liquid Pectin (using only part of the package)
- 1 Cup of water
Directions: In a sauce pan, heat the water and sugar to boiling, stirring to disolve all the sugar. Add the pectin (as much as you'd like - this is to thicken the sauce). Boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Add the mashed strawberries and turn the heat down to medium low, stirring and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool in the refrigerator.
Note: you could transfer to canning jars to keep in the refrigerator, if you're not going to use it all at once. And be advised: this is a very sweet sauce - not for those with diabetes!
Once you have your ice cream dished up, add a few whole strawberries and drizzle the topping over it all. It's that simple! The hard part is not eating too much at one sitting! :)
I hope you'll try this and leave a comment here, to let us all know what you think of it. It is a great way to celebrate "National Strawberry Sundae Day" or any day!
