How to Make Strawberry Filling For Cakes And Cake Rolls

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 16 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries (sliced if fresh), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the strawberries have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly. Continue stirring frequently.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely. For a smoother filling, you can press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after cooling.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling has thickened and set. This allows the flavors to meld and the filling to reach its perfect consistency.
  6. (Optional) For a lighter, dreamier filling, gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped heavy cream after the filling has chilled and thickened.
