Questions & Replies

  1. Hi, Can you give me an indication of the shelf life of the strawberry glaze? And can you freeze any un-used glaze for later? Thank you (I do make and love this glaze using whatever strawberries (or raspberries) I happen to have but often there is far more than I can use immediately)
     
  2. Would this work well with macarons? I'm making them in culinary and I need a glaze with it.

  1. I made this glaze (doubled the recipe) to make a filling for an angel food cake. I pureed the strawberries in a blender (left the strawberry mixture soaking in the sugar in the fridge over night). While cooking the strawberry mixture, I also added a regular package of strawberry jello powder. This gives it a richer strawberry flavour and also helps the mixture to gel. Worked well for the cake and making a dream whip icing which is not sweet.

  3. Very tasty! I liked the added butter and lemon juice for flavor. When cooled, I poured the glaze over halved strawberries and then topped a pie. Yummy!
     
  4. I would highly reccomend this glaze. I doubled the recipe and used smash strawberries that had soaked in sugar all night. AMAZING! Used it for a strawberry shortcake triffle. Yummy!!
     
  5. I used this glaze for strawberry shortcake. I followed the directions and then added another 2-3 cups of fresh sliced strawberries to the mixture once it cooled to top on the cake. It was absolutely WONDERFUL!
