Ingredients

• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Wash and hull the strawberries. Cut them into quarters and place them into a medium-sized saucepan.

Step 2

Add the lemon juice to the saucepan with the strawberries.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries start to break down and release their juices.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.

Step 5

Add the arrowroot slurry to the strawberry mixture, stirring constantly to avoid clumping. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Allow the filling to cool before using. It will continue to thicken as it cools.

Step 8

Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
