Instructions

  1. Wash the strawberries, remove the stalks and blend them finely with 250 ml of water.
  2. Pass the purée through a sieve to remove the seeds if you like.
  3. Bring the remaining purée with the sugar and the rest of the water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan.
  4. Dissolve the starch in a little cold water, then pour it into the pan while stirring.
  5. Let it thicken for 3 minutes over low heat until it reaches the texture of a light cream.
  6. Add the lemon juice and zest, then take off the heat.
  7. Pour into bowls and let cool, or serve lukewarm with a spoonful of cream.

Variations and tips

Raspberry version. Replace half of the strawberries with raspberries for a tangier flavour.
