Fruit Topping

👨‍🍳 Method

1. 1
   Bring the strawberries, sugar and lemon juice to a boil in a saucepan. Turn down the heat and simmer 10 minutes, until the fruit softens.

   💡A gentle simmer, not a boil: a hard boil dries the food out and clouds it, a slow simmer cooks it evenly.
2. 2
   Cool completely and pour over the cooled cake.

   💡Pour on the topping only once it has cooled: a hot topping melts the cream underneath.
