Strawberry Shortcake!

Mmmmmmm.... this has got to be one of the best desserts ever. Strawberries were recently on sale (2 for $5, not bad!), and the sweet aroma stopped me in my tracks as I walked into the store. I love the smell of fresh strawberries.

Now, I'm very particular about how my strawberry shortcakes are made. I absolutely will not buy that weird gel that they sell near the strawberries... I personally think that stuff tastes like strawberry flavored petroleum jelly. ew.

I stick by the method that my stepmom (Hi Suzette!) taught me years ago, it's simple, fast, and best of all, GOOD!

Ok, so you get a nice looking batch of fresh strawberries:



Slice them up, and coat generously with sugar. Don't forget to stir them up:



Cover and refridgerate for at least 2 hours. See how nice and syrupy they get?



And, Voila! Strawberry shortcake!



These critics approve. I'm sure yours will too!
