Ingredients
  • 2 lbs strawberries, hulls removed and cut in half
  • ½ tsp dried basil (optional)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ⅛ tsp salt

  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • Whipped topping or vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
  1. Combine the strawberries, basil, lime juice, ½ cup sugar, ⅛ tsp salt, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Toss until berries are coated in the mixture. Transfer to a greased baking dish. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
