Strawberry Sauce

Measure out all ingredients and set them on your work surface. Have a medium saucepan, a whisk, and a heat-safe bowl ready before you begin.

Pour the measured water into a medium saucepan and bring it to a full boil over medium-high heat.

Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the package of strawberry gelatin, whisking vigorously until the gelatin is completely dissolved with no visible granules remaining.

Stir in the orange liqueur, mixing thoroughly to evenly incorporate the alcohol into the gelatin mixture.

Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken slightly and reaches a syrupy consistency.

Transfer the sauce to a heat-safe bowl or storage container and refrigerate until it reaches your desired semi-gelatinous consistency before using as a pie filling or topping.
