There could be a few reasons why your strawberry sauce is watery: Overripe strawberries: If your strawberries were very ripe and juicy, they naturally contain more water. This excess moisture can contribute to a watery sauce. Using slightly firmer or less ripe strawberries can help reduce the water content. Insufficient cooking time: Simmering the strawberries for an inadequate amount of time can result in a watery sauce. The heat helps to evaporate excess moisture and thicken the sauce. Ensure that you simmer the strawberries long enough to allow the sauce to reduce and thicken to the desired consistency.
