# Guide to Cooking:
01 -

In a bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, and salt until uniformly blended.

In a saucepan, stir the sugar mixture with water and lemon juice over medium heat. Continuously stir until the mixture thickens and bubbles, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove from heat, add butter if using, and stir until melted. Allow to cool slightly off heat.
05 -
Gently fold hulled and halved strawberries into the cooled glaze until thoroughly coated.

Slice and serve chilled with whipped cream if desired.
# Extra Suggestions:

Use fresh strawberries to avoid a watery filling; frozen berries may alter texture.
