This easy strawberry glaze is made with strawberry Jell-O flavor gelatin. You can use strawberry juice/puree to replace the water in this recipe.

This is a double-batch recipe that I made for a few recipes. You can reduce it by half for one-time use.

The room temperature glace is pourable and great for making fresh strawberry pie, trifle, cake topping, or mixed with frosting/buttercream.

When refrigerating the glaze, it will turn solid since it is made with gelatin. I let it come to room temperature and stir it well until it is spreadable. Then I can use it for cake filling or Swiss roll filling.

You can also reheat the glaze in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until it returns to the pourable stage. Add 15 seconds intervals if needed.

Substitute the strawberry gelatin with a different flavor of gelatin for variety.

Ingredients:
3 cups water
2 cups sugar
6 tbsp cornstarch
1/4-1/2 tsp salt
2 (3 oz.) boxes of strawberry Jeel-O flavor gelatin
1 tsp vanilla extract
2-4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened if using (Note: I do not use the butter at this time.)

Method:
1. In a medium saucepan, combine water, sugar, cornstarch, and salt together until the cornstarch is dissolved.
2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, and bring it to a boil.
3. When the mixture turns translucent and starts boiling, turn off the heat.
4. Add the strawberry gelatin to the hot mixture and stir well vigorously with a wire whisk until the gelatin is dissolved for about 2 minutes.
5. Stir in vanilla extract and softened butter, if using.
6. Transfer the glaze to a bowl and let it come to room temperature for a pourable glaze.
7. If Keep the graze in the fridge after using it, it will solidify like soft jello. You can reuse it by bringing it to room temperature and stirring it well until spreadable. Great for cake filling.
8. If you want a pourable stage, microwave it for 30 seconds and stir well until liquified. Microwave for 15 seconds (intervals) more if needed.
