Instructions

  1. Mix half of the strawberry puree with the powdered sugar in a bowl and check to see the consistency. It should be like thick honey.
  2. Add more strawberry puree if needed to adjust depending if you want a thicker or thinner glaze or icing.
  3. It's best to use at room temperature. 
  4. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container or well covered. 

Notes

  • Organization: read the recipe first and make sure you have ingredients at the right temperatures, equipment needed, and enough workspace. This will make the process so much easier!
  • Frozen strawberries: you can use them straight from the freezer. If they have too much ice around them (something that happens when they've been frozen for a long time) thaw them a little just to release some of the icy water, not the juices. The strawberry itself will still be pretty frozen. 
  • How thick or thin do you like it? You can add more or less strawberry puree to make the type of glaze you want.
  • Storing: it keeps for weeks in the refrigerator, well covered, or in an airtight container. And a month in the freezer. If refrigerated, stir it vigorously before using it so it's smooth again.
