A delightful and easy-to-make strawberry glaze with a hint of citrus, perfect for desserts.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then mash them into a chunky consistency.
Use a potato masher or fork for mashing to keep some texture in the glaze.
In a saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the cornstarch dissolves evenly.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens.
Keep stirring to prevent the glaze from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Stir in the orange zest and Grand Marnier, then remove from heat.
Add the zest and liqueur off the heat to preserve their fresh flavors.
Let the glaze cool to room temperature, then chill in the refrigerator before serving.
Chilling helps the glaze set and enhances its flavor.
