I was going to do #3, but wanted to try a variation not attempted yet, and that was #2. This was one great dessert as the kids love strawberries, and the jam. Defineately a keeper as I will try other variations too. Made for Recipe Swap #41. -
I did this using variation # 3 but skipped the sour cream and added some whipped cream beside the pastry. I used fresh whipped cream instead of Cool whip. Great recipe with the variatuons and very easy to switch up. Made for Photo Tag
