First we need to clean enough strawberries for 500 grams. You can also use frozen strawberries, but when in high season the price is actually cheaper then frozen.
Slice the 500 grams of cleaned strawberries in four and transfer them into a pan. Also add the syrup or sugar. Now cover the pan with a lid and heat it up on a low heat for about an hour. You’ll end up with a beautiful broth and soft strawberries floating in there.
After that pass the broth through a sieve that’s lined with some kitchen paper and let it drip for at least 30 minutes so you don’t waste a single drop.
You can season the soft drained strawberries with a touch of lime zest. The texture is great and it’s a lot like a strawberry compote. Give it a good mix and then it's ready to be used.
Now pour the strawberry broth into a pan and add a gram of agar powder for every 100 grams of broth. I had 300 grams, so I added 3 grams of agar powder. Give it a good mix and then bring it to a boil for at least 30 seconds.
After that pour it into a bowl and let it cool down in your fridge.
Then transfer it into a blender and blend it till smooth.
Once you have a smooth gel you can pour it into a bowl and vacuum the gel a 100% to remove any air bubbles. This will result in a clear gel with a more intense flavor.
