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.

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.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
