Notes: When we lived in California, I could not wait until strawberry season started so I could start making this dessert. So easy! We had strawberry fields all over and they were so big and sweet. At the end of the season, the fields would be left open and you could go and "glean" the fields and pick all the strawberries left over from the crop.
