This recipe is so simple and delicious! The recipe is one that I got from The Georgia Farm Bulletin. When my sweet mother was alive, she got their bulletin each month. Strawberries are plentiful and sweet at this time of year. I needed something quick (and yummy) for a covered dish tonight. I decided to make this. I bet I won't be bringing leftovers home. I think you could use frozen strawberries if fresh aren't available.
