Strawberry Shortcake Filling

I typically macerate strawberries in sugar and water for shortcake, but this method does give you a nice sauce. A word of caution about the number of servings. I followed this recipe to the letter, and it served 2 people, who don’t have huge appetites, with a little sauce left over. In my opinion, with a few more strawberries, this would give you three servings, not six. I also thought this didn’t have enough strawberries, and just can’t see whole strawberries for “shortcake filling.” If I were to make this again, I’d halve all of the strawberries. On the positive side, it is easy to make, tastes good, and has a nice sauce consistency.
