Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. You can also cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size and your texture preference.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and honey. Stir to mix well.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. The strawberries should start to release their juices and soften.
Step 4
In a small bowl, mix the tapioca flour and water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the filling.
Step 5
Add the tapioca slurry to the strawberry mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it is fully incorporated.
Step 6
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the filling thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the filling cool. It will thicken further as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, use the strawberry filling immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
