Ingredients

  • 4 cups strawberries hulled
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • Pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Slice the strawberries and place them in a large saucepan over medium heat with ¾ cup of water, sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  • Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Mash the berries slightly with a potato masher or fork (note: you can skip this step if you prefer slices or larger chunks).
  • Mix together the cornstarch and remaining ¼ cup of water in a small bowl until well combined and pour into the saucepan.
  • Continue to simmer the strawberries for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the filling thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely before using or pouring into storage containers. Enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
You can adjust the thickness of the filling by adding a few tablespoons of water.
For canning, see instructions within the post.
