This turned our good when I cooked it for the 35 residents at the assisted living place where I work on weekends, but the recipe neglected to include the amount of lemon juice used. I guessed at half a cup, but it did not set up extremely well. Other issues this morning was an electrical outage for over 3 hours that put me slightly behind schedule. -
This recipe sounds divine! Sadly, I'll have to wait until next summer to make it as we are very near the end of our summer and the strawberry season is nearly finished. So roll on next summer! Also I've spotted quite a number of your recipes while cruising around recipezaar and they are all very mouth watering - and I'm really looking forward to trying some of them out. Bye for now,Karin.
