Ingredients
- 400 g strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 40 g caster sugar
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Add the chopped strawberries, lemon juice, and caster sugar to a medium saucepan set over medium heat.
- Heat until the sugar has melted and the strawberries have softened.
- Mix the water and cornflour together in a small bowl and add this cornstarch slurry to the saucepan.
- Allow the water from the fruit to evaporate and for the filling to thicken. Once the filling coats the back of a spoon, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the strawberry mixture into a glass jar to cool completely.
Notes
- Watch the heat of the stovetop, if it gets too hot the strawberry mixture will catch on the bottom of the saucepan.
- Allow the strawberry mixture to cool properly before using it as a cake filling.
