Strawberry pie filling uses:
- Pies
- Cheesecake topping
- Cake filling
- Cupcake filling
- Waffle, crepe and pancake topping
- Cobblers and crisps
- Shortcakes
Tips for strawberry pie filling:
- You must use Clearjel. DON'T use cornstarch because it will make the filling a little cloudy and it doesn't can very well either.
- Don't skip the blanching because that is required to stop certain enzyme actions, which would otherwise cause loss of flavor, color and texture.
- Red gel coloring is optional but I highly recommend it since it makes the filling very bright, vibrant and red.
- Don't use frozen strawberries because that makes the filling a but watery.
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent burning and sticking.
- You can use a combination of berries instead of just strawberries. Rhubarb and raspberries are a great addition.
