Strawberry Topping Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries hulled and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions
 

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, add strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir to combine. If your strawberries are not very juicy, add 1-2 tablespoons of water as needed.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until mixture has thickened and looks glossy (this could take up to 6-8 minutes). Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Store topping in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

Add 1-2 tablespoons of water if strawberries are not very juicy for the right consistency.
