Fruit Glaze 9.17.12


I'm looking for a homemade fruit glaze to dip my (possibly fanned) fresh strawberry garnish in.

Strawberry Glaze
1 c sweetened strawberry juice
2 T cornstarch
2 T corn syrup

Boil half of juice.  Dissolve cornstarch in remaining juice. Add dornstarch mixture to the boiling juice and stir until thick.  Stir in corn syrup and bring back to boil.  Cool and drizzle.



Nice, shiny strawberry!  The glaze looked great going on, but was too thin and ran off the strawberry in a few hours.  Perhaps this glaze was meant more like a sauce.  I'll need to thicken the glaze next time so that it firms up when it cools.  The glaze was also too sweet.  Hopefully, the less sweet macerated strawberries will fix this, but if not I can add water to the juice.  


Here's the original fruit glaze recipe:
Fruit Glaze
1/2 c sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 c fruit juice
2 T corn syrup
