Oh, how good those jams and preserves were in the winter (even though I grumbled enough during picking time).

Take whipping cream-whip it with sugar (or fake sugar). It should be a little too sweet for your taste. Whip it until stiff peaks form. fold the strawberry blend into the whipping cream and place in bowls. Place in fridge and it sets like a pudding.
