In a saucepan, combine the remaining strawberries (halved or quartered), water, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir well to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently. Cook until the strawberries have softened and the mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the strawberry mixture from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
