Instructions

Prepare the strawberries by washing them, hulling, and slicing larger ones into thick pieces.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine strawberries, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook over medium-high heat until boiling; stir occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water to create a slurry; stir into the strawberry mixture. Increase heat back to medium-high and boil for an additional 30 seconds.
Remove from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and allow cooling before refrigerating.
