Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and hull the fresh strawberries. Cut them into quarters if they are large.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
Step 3
Stir the mixture occasionally and bring it to a simmer. Cook the strawberries until they start to break down and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry.
Step 5
Add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring continuously.
Step 6
Continue to cook the filling, stirring constantly, until it thickens, which will take about 3-5 minutes.
Step 7
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Step 8
Allow the filling to cool completely before using it in your favorite pies or pastries. It will thicken further as it cools.
