Homemade Strawberry Glaze
Perfect for Strawberry Pie, Cheesecake, spoon over ice cream, or Tarts, this Homemade Strawberry Glaze is a must make! You can even put it on brownies or cake!
Strawberries are my favorite fruit, not only because they are delicious, but they are also so versatile. There are endless desserts you can make with them! And they are also perfect on salads too. Recently, after I made this Homemade Strawberry Glaze to go on top of the Chocolate Chip Strawberry Pizza, I knew it was a recipe to keep around. The recipe goes together quickly and can be used on a variety of your baked treats.
Depending on how chunky you want your glaze, and how you plan on using it, you can put it through a sieve or the food processor. We used the food processor because it was quicker, and it worked great. Just make sure you do this after the mixture is cooked and put together.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can make your own Homemade Strawberry Glaze. First, you will need Strawberries (of course), then cornstarch for thickening, sugar for flavor, water to thin it a bit, and the food coloring is optional (I used it).
You can use this Homemade Strawberry Glaze on these desserts…

I’ve made this a few times already. My husband uses it as jam. 😂🤣😂🤣 So does his coworker, who keeps asking for me to make more. I have discovered that this is a great recipe for pie, or a strawberry turnover. I noticed a few folks have had issues with the cornstarch. What I do is whisk the sugar and cornstarch fully in the saucepan and continue to whisk while adding the water and mashed strawberries. So far that has worked for me to prevent the cornstarch from clumping up. I rarely use cornstarch, but when I do I make sure I store the rest in an airtight container to prevent it from going stale before its expiration date. its best to use within 6 months of opening regardless of the expiration date. I also added 1 tsp of Vanilla extract although you can also add a tsp of Strawberry extract if you can find it. Since Covid, I have had trouble locating certain flavors in extracts. You can check with local health food stores for some extracts or order them online.
That is great Sandra!! Thanks for sharing your tips and feedback!
We love the Strawberry Glaze as jam as well.

Thanks so much for everybody’s input. I the grocery store was out of the glaze that is so convenient. And now I don’t feel lost in doing my own.
I made this to use inside and on top of a bundt pound-cake – WOW! Absolutely amazing taste. I will definitely be keeping this recipe in my index.
Awesome! So glad you liked the Strawberry Glaze, Stacey! Thanks for letting us know!

Hello,
I was thinking of using this recipe as a spread over a no bake cheesecake. If I spread it over the cheesecake today, and put it in the fridge overnight, will it be firm enough to not be runny as I cut it tomorrow?
Hi Semone, I would wait to add the strawberry glaze until you are ready to serve the cheesecake.

Will this recipe stay good outside for a day..I wanted to fill it in my cupcakes
Hi Caren, it should be fine depending on the temperature of the weather. There isn’t anything in it that will spoil.
