Glaceed Strawberries Recipes

Steps:

• Crush enough strawberries to make 1 cup pulp.
• Place pulp in medium saucepan; add 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch mixture.
• Cook and stir over medium heat 2 minutes or until mixture boils, thickens and is clear.
• Remove saucepan from heat; stir in 1 tablespoon butter and lemon juice.
• Cool to room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a clean, dry small saucepan (preferably one with a pouring spout) fitted with a candy thermometer and bring to a boil over high heat. Without stirring, cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F or "hard crack" stage on the candy thermometer. (While the syrup is cooking, occasionally wash down the sides of the pan with a clean brush dipped in water, to prevent crystallization).
• Meanwhile, stick the wooden skewers into the green ends of the strawberries. When the sugar mixture is done, remove the pot from the heat, and dip it into the ice bath for 15 seconds to stop the cooking. Add the extract and stir the mixture gently in both directions, but be careful not to over mix. Dip the berries in and stick the skewer into a pound of butter or block of styrofoam to cool and harden. Remove the skewers and serve within 5 hours.
• Notes about the recipe: You can do other fruit this way such as grapes.

Steps:

• Line large baking sheet with foil. Wipe fruits clean. Insert 1 skewer halfway into each fruit (excluding grape clusters).
• Combine sugar and water in heavy medium 4-inch-deep saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Add corn syrup and ginger. Increase heat and bring to boil, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush. Attach candy thermometer to saucepan. Boil without stirring until syrup is golden amber color and candy thermometer registers 340°F, swirling pan occasionally, about 20 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
• Holding skewer, carefully dip 1 fruit into hot caramel, coating completely. Hold fruit over pan, allowing some of excess caramel to drip off. Place fruit, still on skewer, on foil-lined sheet. Repeat dipping with remaining fruits and caramel. Hook stem end of each grape cluster in tines of fork; dip into caramel to coat. Place on prepared sheet. If necessary, carefully tilt pan to submerge fruits in caramel. (Can be prepared ahead. Cranberries, strawberries and orange segments can stand at room temperature up to 6 hours. Kumquats, dried apricots and grape clusters can be refrigerated uncovered overnight.)

Steps:

• Blend or puree the strawberries into a liquid.
• Dissolve cornstarch in the cold water in a medium saucepan. Add strawberry puree and sugar and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until just beginning to boil. Remove from heat.
• Immediately add butter and lemon juice; stir until butter has melted. Allow to cool before serving.

Steps:

• Hull, wash, & drain berries.
• Crush enough berries to make 1 cup.
• Combine sugar & cornstarch; add crushed berries & water.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.
• Continue cooking & stirring over low heat for two minutes or until mixture thickens & becomes translucent.
• Remove from heat; stir in butter & set aside to cool.
• Place whole berries in pie shell, reserving a few choice ones for garnishing.
• Pour cooked mixture over berries & chill at least 2 hours.
• Whip cream & sugar together & frost pie with whipped cream.
• Garnish with reserved berries.
• Note: you can use whole berries placed into the shell with the points up, or you can half them & layer the berries in the crust.
• "cooking" time = chlling time.
