I love this recipe! It's very very easy to follow and most of the ingredients are in your pantry. I have made it three times now.

Made this recipe as given & had a really outstanding treat, what with this particular combo of strawberry & lemon flavors ~ a very nice change from the usual lemon bars that I make! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
