"This is my best strawberry glaze. I will make this for a topping on a low-calorie to very rich cheese cake. The topping will make the cheesecake!"

Hi, Can you give me an indication of the shelf life of the strawberry glaze? And can you freeze any un-used glaze for later? Thank you (I do make and love this glaze using whatever strawberries (or raspberries) I happen to have but often there is far more than I can use immediately)

Would this work well with macarons? I'm making them in culinary and I need a glaze with it.

I made this glaze (doubled the recipe) to make a filling for an angel food cake. I pureed the strawberries in a blender (left the strawberry mixture soaking in the sugar in the fridge over night). While cooking the strawberry mixture, I also added a regular package of strawberry jello powder. This gives it a richer strawberry flavour and also helps the mixture to gel. Worked well for the cake and making a dream whip icing which is not sweet.

Very tasty! I liked the added butter and lemon juice for flavor. When cooled, I poured the glaze over halved strawberries and then topped a pie. Yummy!

I would highly reccomend this glaze. I doubled the recipe and used smash strawberries that had soaked in sugar all night. AMAZING! Used it for a strawberry shortcake triffle. Yummy!!

I used this glaze for strawberry shortcake. I followed the directions and then added another 2-3 cups of fresh sliced strawberries to the mixture once it cooled to top on the cake. It was absolutely WONDERFUL!

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
