Preparation

Step 1

We prepare our strawberries, take them out of the freezer and transfer them to a large saucepan or pot.

Step 2

Next, we put this pan on the fire so that the strawberries begin to thaw.

There is no need to add water; let the berries thaw using only the heat, this will remove excess moisture from the strawberries.

Step 3

Keep the strawberries on medium heat and stir everything occasionally.

Step 4

When the berries have thawed, transfer them to a blender bowl and puree them.

Step 5

We return our puree back to the pan and put it back on the fire.

Step 6

Add sugar to the strawberry puree and mix everything well.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, and then simmer for a few more minutes over medium heat.

Also, don’t forget to constantly stir our puree during the cooking process so that it doesn’t burn.

Step 8

When the puree is ready, remove it from the heat and place it in a sink with cold water to let our filling cool.

If you had a small saucepan, you could place it not in the sink, but in a basin of water.

Step 9

During the cooling stage, stir the puree with a silicone spatula.

Step 10

Next, pour the filling into a container, close it tightly and put it in the refrigerator.

To help the filling retain its beautiful color, you can add a couple of drops of lemon juice.
You can avoid pureeing the filling and instead make it with pieces of your chosen berries.
