Combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to release juices.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Add this mixture to the strawberries in the saucepan.
Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until thickened and bubbling, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
