Strawberry Shortcake

[Kidd]

Just picked up a buy-one get-one pack of strawberries from Cub and prepared them the following way and they were great.

An old family recipe:

- Slice the strawberries into 1/8 – 1/4 ince slices

- Put into large bowl and add about 1/4 cup sugar

- Mix and let stand for about 20 minutes

- Stir in another 1/4 cup sugar and let stand again for about 20 min

- Now smash the strawberries with a fork or spoon to release juice

- Let stand until its time for desert

- Spoon strawberries over shortcake, pour a little extra juice and top with whip cream

- Dig in.

It just doesn't get any easier than that.

We have had this quite a bit lately. I do the same thing but maybe a little less sugar. Costco has some really nice strawberries in a big package.

got the grandkids this weekend, and this sounds like a winner for them and us. thanks. good luck.

And it's easy enough for them to make all by themselves.

As I read this, I'm finishing off my lunch with some cut-up strawberries - topped with a little honey.
