Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb Strawberries
½ cup White sugar
2 tbsp Cornstarch
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 cup Water ((divided))
1/8 tsp Salt (pinch)

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.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Strawberry Dessert Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
⅓ cup hot water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
1 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 cup fresh strawberries
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter a jelly roll pan. Line it with buttered foil or buttered parchment paper.

Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of your strawberry filling, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Frozen or canned strawberries can also be used, but they may not have the same vibrant flavor as fresh strawberries.
  • Before using fresh strawberries, hull them to remove the stems and calyx. This will help to prevent the filling from becoming too seedy.
  • To make a smoother filling, puree the strawberries in a food processor or blender until they are completely smooth. This is especially helpful if you are using frozen strawberries, as it will help to break down the ice crystals.
  • If you want a thicker filling, add a cornstarch or flour slurry to the strawberries before cooking. This will help to thicken the filling as it cools.
  • To prevent the filling from curdling, add a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar to the strawberries before cooking. This will help to balance the pH of the strawberries and prevent them from curdling when they are combined with dairy products.
  • If you are using the filling in a cake roll, spread it evenly over the cake while it is still warm. This will help the filling to adhere to the cake and prevent it from tearing when it is rolled up.

Conclusion:

Strawberry filling is a delicious and versatile filling that can be used in a variety of desserts, including cakes, pies, tarts, and cake rolls. With its bright red color and sweet, tangy flavor, strawberry filling is sure to please everyone. Whether you are using fresh, frozen, or canned strawberries, you can easily make a delicious strawberry filling that will add a pop of flavor to your favorite desserts.
