GLAZED FRUIT FLAN

I used a 23cm (9 ") shortcrust flan , which I pierced and blind baked in a medium heated oven (160 deg C) till golden . Then I arranged 500 gm of fresh strawberries over the base of the pastry case . Now combine 185 gm of castor sugar in a saucepan along with 2 tbs of cornflour , 2 tbs of corn syruop and 1 cup of water . Bring this mix to the boil and simmer for 2 minutes . Stir in 2 tbs of strawberry jelly crystals , cool slightly , then pour the glaze over the strawberries and chill in the refrigerator to set .
