Notes: Clara Mainland made this strawberry shortcake with the fresh June berries grown in Stevens Point. It became a favorite tradition carried on by her daughter in law Ruth, married to Doug, who often served this when entertaining on the screened in porch. Jean Mainland Speer was known to serve this as a main course! The next generation refers to this as Grandma’s Strawberry Shortcake.
