Strawberry Glaze

This strawberry glaze recipe is made from scratch with fresh strawberries. It makes a great topping for pancakes, waffles, or angel food cake. I used my handy Kitchen Aid mini food processor to purée the strawberries. If you don’t already have one, you can find them on Amazon for a decent price. I recently used this strawberry topping along with an angel food cake to make a strawberry shortcake dessert for a dinner party, and it was a hit! What is your favorite fruit topping?

    Kristi, this looks absolutely WONDERFUL and definitely like something I need to try soon, especially since it’s strawberry season here in Louisiana! I’ve been trying to cull and save as MANY strawberry recipes as I can so I can try out many different things with my favorite fruit this season!

    Thanks for sharing!

    I tried this tonight and unfortunately it wasn’t exactly what I had in mind (consistency–it’s a lot thinner than I hoped for even with the conrnstarch), but it wasn’t bad. Thanks for sharing the recipe:)

      Hi Sally! I’m sorry it didn’t turn out the way you had expected 🙁 Now that I think about it, it is thinner than your typical store-bought glaze. If anyone figures out how to thicken it up I would love to post a revision for a thicker version.
