The best strawberry sauce is made from the ripest strawberries. Look for ones that are red from top to bottom and all the way through to the core. If you take a sniff, they should smell like, well, ripe, sweet, strawberries. I donāt always strain out all the seeds since I sometimes like their texture and appearance in the sauce.
