Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries and sugar. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- Add the lemon juice to the saucepan and stir everything together gently.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour this mixture into the saucepan with the strawberries and stir well to combine.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring gently until it begins to bubble. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens nicely.
- Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend it with an immersion blender at this stage.
- Your strawberry filling is now ready! Use it immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
