Strawberry glaze recipe Easy glazing tech for desserts DIY fruit topping icing Simple steps for perfect results
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Cook the Berries: In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
- Thicken the Mix: In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a smooth slurry. Slowly pour this into the bubbling strawberry mixture, stirring constantly.
- Simmer to Perfection: Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring, until the glaze thickens beautifully and becomes glossy.
- Final Touch: For an ultra-smooth glaze, you can press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds. Or, leave it as is for texture. Let it cool slightly before using. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.
