Strawberry Chambord Sauce
I don’t know about you and your area of the world, but boy, have we ever had a BUMPER crop of strawberries this spring due to all of the incredible weekly rains that we have received. So W.D. and I have just been whipping up all sorts of recipes to use these precious red beauties. Trust me, we don’t eat gourmet every day; in fact, we eat more simply on a day to day basis than otherwise..
I’m married to a simple guy who loves simple things. Don’t get me wrong, he loves it when I prepare something more on the more elegant and ‘gourmet’ side; but he’s just as happy with a simple dish any day. So here’s a super simple recipe for you: a strawberry sauce to drizzle over just about anything. In this case, the sauce taken to a new level with the addition of Chambord. This Strawberry Chambord Sauce is perfect drizzled over a strawberry layer cake with a cream cheese or mascarpone cheese frosting.

Nothing fancy at all, but made fancier by the addition of the Chambord.

The sauce is really good!
Hi Reeni and Kerstin! Oh my gosh, you are both right, this sauce is so good, and you can use it for so many recipes. We freeze tons of strawberries in the spring, so that we can have them year round, knowing that there are no preservatives in them from doing it ourselves. THanks for sharing your thoughts, you two!
Love that strawberry sauce – and, it’s so versatile, yum!
This is just divine over the strawberry cake! And with cream cheese frosting, my favorite, and a perfect match for the strawberry flavor!
