To my knowledge, the lemon juice helps thickening but it also changes the taste of the strawberries. Would the recipe still be an acceptable one if lemon juice was omitted and cornstarch increased? Moderator response: Yes you can omit the lemon juice and thicken with more cornstarch. This does not have a significant effect on the nutrients or taste.
