Strawberry Filling Recipes

STRAWBERRY FILLING FOR CAKES TARTS AND DESSERTS

Steps:

• Wash, clean, and hull strawberries. Chop them into equal size pieces Pro tip - hull simply means to remove the stalk and core (core is the white stalk below the green leaves because it stays hard)
• Place strawberries in a saucepan with half the water, sugar, lemon juice, and salt.
• Place it on medium heat until all the sugar is dissolved shaking the pan to cook evenly. Pro tip - the sugar will melt and the mixture will look very runny. But it will be ok as it cooks.
• Continue to cook a minute more, then, use a vegetable or potato masher and mash the fruit. Pro tip - mashing the fruit is optional but it will create a softer smoother textured filling
• Add cornstarch to the remaining water and stir well. Add it to the strawberriesPro tip - cornstarch tends to settle down so make sure to stir before you add it to anything
• Continue to cook on medium - the mixture will thicken and looks glossy. The color will change from an opaque light red to a translucent deep red color.Pro tip - it is important that the cornstarch comes to a boil only then will it go from opaque to a transparent glossy sheen. This means the cornstarch is cooked.
• When glossy and thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon or spatula it's ready.
• Optional - At this point, you can strain the filling by pouring it thru a sieve. I like to leave it fruity and chunky just as I have here.Pro tip - straining will remove all the fruit fiber and give a smoother filling consistency which may be ideal for some desserts
• Remove from heat - Pour into a mason jar. Let cool completely.
