Baked Cheesecake with Strawberry Glaze




We had holiday on ascension day and enjoyed strawberry picking at a farm just outside Hamburg.  I made a pot of strawberry glaze on the very next day to go on top of cheese cake my husband requested me to bake!  The cheesecake recipe is based on Betty Crocker's "Razzle-Dazzle Berry Cheesecake."  So, I will just post the recipe for home-made strawberry glaze that is preservable and perfect on pies, angel cake, chocolate cupcakes, parfait, ice cream and whatnot!





Ingredients
900g/2lbs strawberries
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup corn starch
1/8 tsp. salt

Directions
1. Hull and cut strawberries in half.
2. Put sugar, water, corn starch in a pot and bring to boil. stirring constantly.
3. After boiling for 2-3 min. reduce the heat and add strawberries, lemon juice and salt.  Cook for about 7-8 min.  Don't forget to stir!
4. Let it rest in fridge at least 4hrs. before using on cakes.
