Strawberry Glaze

So for 4th of July I made Nickel's Strawberries in the Snow which was a huge success. It required that pre-made strawberry glaze topping. I'm on a mission to eat healthier which includes making my own stuff and not eating really processed foods that are likely packed with preservatives and the like. Anyone know how to make this stuff or a good homemade substitute?

you can also omitt the strawberry jello and use fresh strawberries that you pulse in the food processor, that is what I do when making strawberry pie. It is really good.

I think it's interesting that it's the glaze that you take issue with, and not the cup of powdered sugar and/or large tub of whipped cream. :roflmao:

Powdered sugar is just sugar. It's natural and I can make my own whipped cream. I'm not necessarily looking to cut carbs, calories, what have you just get the added junk out where I can. :yay:
