This worked out perfect as the glaze for our first strawberry shortcake of the season. Thank you for the salt as it kept the lumps out of the glaze. Outstanding! Thank you for posting.

I used the strawberry glaze over angel food cake. My family loved it. Much better than the commercial glaze in a pouch.

I had extra strawberries from a pary and I did not want them to ruin. I made this as a glaze for to refridegerate and use for toppings over ice cream, strawberry shortcake (The cake was your 7-Up Pound Cake), amd pancakes. Thanks it was easy and economical and tasty.
