Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh strawberries
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters water
- 15 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel. If desired, remove the green tops for easier serving.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 teaspoon of water to create a cornstarch slurry. Set aside.
In a medium skillet or saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, water, and unsalted butter. Heat over medium heat, stirring gently, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer.
Add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the skillet, stirring to incorporate the flavors into the glaze.
Pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring continuously. Let the glaze cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
Reduce the heat to low and gently add the strawberries to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly with the cinnamon glaze. Cook for 2-3 minutes, just until the strawberries are warmed through and slightly softened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and allow the glazed strawberries to cool for a few minutes.
Serve the Cinnamon Glazed Strawberries warm or at room temperature. They pair wonderfully with whipped cream, ice cream, pancakes, or waffles.
