I thought this was very good. Instead of cooling in individual cups I chilled it in a large bowl and allowed everyone to serve themselves. We had it with whipped cream. Next time I may cut back the cooking time as we felt it might be better if the strawberries were firmer and not quite so soft. I think this would also be delicious on vanilla ice cream, shortcake or angel food. It has a lot of possibilities.Reply

I made this for ZWT3. I'm sorry to say that mine didn't get 5 start result. I started with ripe rich red berries but all the color "washed out" in the cooking, sadly the flavor also seemed to fade. I did use Splenda in place of the sugar which I stirred in as I removed it from the heat. It was already color faded so I know that it didn't cause the effect but perhaps the lack of added sugar did? The flavor was nice but not what I was expecting.1Reply
