This is wonderful! In the middle of making this wonderful topping, I realized I didn't have a jar of strawberry jam on hand. I did recall having some freezer jam in the freezer (Recipe #31972) which I used and it worked beautifully!! This works perfectly with Sharlene's recipe #45962! I highly recommend it for topping cakes, pudding, or ice cream! Delicious! Thank you, Sharlene : )

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
