Berry Good French Toast

1 cup frozen strawberries
1/4 cup of water
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Pinch of salt

Directions
For the topping, place the strawberries, water, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan.
Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and continue to cook at a low boil, stirring every few minutes, until the berries break down and the mixture is nice and syrupy, 15 to 20 minutes. To speed things up a bit, use the back of a spoon to smoosh the berries against the side of the saucepan as you stir.
