In reply to Savanah W. Hi Savanah! If you make a dam around the filling it will work just fine. :)

Can I use this recipe for between cake layers? Would it be too runny and then leak out of the layers?

In reply to Emily @ Sugar Spun Run.

I’ve made your recipe today using strawberries, blueberries, dark sweet cherries & sour cherries. My goal was to recreate the 4 fruit preserves (very expensive name brand preserves) we love from the grocery store but are so so expensive. I used your recipe exactly as written & it’s even better than you know who’s!! Plus it made 6 jars, that would have cost me $50 from the grocery store

The flavor is amazing!
I didn’t have enough strawberries, so I fleshed out the “pound of berries” with blueberries. Not sure why, but it came out super thick. The blueberry color overwhelmed the poor red strawberries- but their organic farm fresh flavor still came through

Really captures the fresh summer flavor of real strawberries. I usually add the cornstarch by tapping it through a small sieve onto the wet ingredients so that those dreaded starch bombs/lumps don’t happen. It can make a world of difference in how much darned stirring it can take! I used vanilla sugar (my own) and it was fantastic!

In reply to Annabel. Hi Annabel! I'm not exactly sure how it would work. I haven't experimented with it. If you do try it, I would love to know how it goes. :)

Can you use Pectin to help make it thicker/more jelly like for cake filling?

In reply to Victoria. Hi Victoria! You can swirl it in, but it also tastes great served on top. :)

I planned to make this to use in your strawberry cheesecake cookies, but I need to double or triple the cookie recipe (taking to my son’s chemo clinic appt to share next Monday), so I was wondering how much this recipe makes. 1 cup? 2? I want to be sure to get enough berries. Thank you!

In reply to Jill. Hi Jill! If you use a dam to hold the strawberry sauce in the cake it should work here. :)

In reply to Jill. Hi Jill! It is a little bit loose, but if you use a dam it should work just fine. :)

In reply to Christine. Hi Christine! I haven't personally tried it, but I think peaches would work just fine here. :)
