Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, overlapping the longer sides for easy removal.

3. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and press firmly onto the bottom of the pan. Bake in preheated oven 15-18 minutes, until edges are golden.
4. FILLING: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a handheld whisk until they are well mixed. Add the sweetened condensed milk and beat until it is full incorporated. Whisk in lemon juice and zest.
5. Spread jam over hot crust. Pour filling over and bake 25-30 minutes or until center filling has set.
6. Once chilled remove from dish using 2 sides of overlapped parchment paper as handles. This enables you to cut in nice even slices. Cut into 36 slices.
7. Slice a strawberry, but not all the way through, and fan it out on top of the slice.
