Strawberry Tart Glaze - recipe wanted please?

callansdad

Does anyone know where i can get the gelatinous style strawberry gel that bakers use for strawberry tarts?

I've looked for this everywhere but no bakers are willing to divulge where they buy it from!

Thanks in advance


p.s. its not quickgel

callansdad,

I'm going to move your thread over to the Old Style board, where hopefully you will get an answer to your question.

Would it just be the syrup with sugar and arrowroot?

I think that it will be a commercial gel that comes in big vats and the nearest you can get to copying it will be as Squeaky said with juice thickened with slaked arrowroot

I've done it with a fruit flan using tinned fruit (say peaches). Mix the arrowroot with a little water then mix with the juice from the can and heat in a saucepan until it thickens (the arrowroot makes it stay clear). Not sure what you'd do for fresh strawberries though.
