Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon tapioca flour
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash the fresh strawberries thoroughly and remove the stems. You can also cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size and your texture preference.
In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, lemon juice, and honey. Stir to mix well.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes. The strawberries should start to release their juices and soften.
In a small bowl, mix the tapioca flour and water to create a slurry. This will help thicken the filling.
Add the tapioca slurry to the strawberry mixture, stirring continuously to ensure it is fully incorporated.
Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes until the filling thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the filling cool. It will thicken further as it cools.
Once cooled, use the strawberry filling immediately or transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
