Just a few minutes in a hot skillet gives the sauce a complex flavor. If you've got an extra minute or two, skip the chocolate chips and garnish the sundaes with chocolate curls shaved off the edge of a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup sugar

Return to same bowl and place in freezer 10 minutes to cool slightly. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover, transfer to refrigerator, and chill. Return sauce to room temperature or rewarm slightly in microwave-safe bowl in microwave, if desired, before serving.
