Strawberry Sturm

I picked about 8 quarts of strawberries today to make jam, and put up 9 pints. With the rest, I made Strawberry Sturm. For those of you not of Swiss ancestry, Strawberry Sturm is kind of like a poor man's strawberry shortcake. My grandma used to make this for me every June with the strawberries from her garden. If you haven't tried it, here's a basic recipe.

Strawberry Sturm

• 1 Quart Strawberries
• 1/2 cup Suger/Splenda (I mix it half and half) more or less to taste
• Milk
• White bread
• 1/2 t Lime or Lemon juice (optional)

Crush the strawberries with a potato masher. Add the sugar or Splenda. Tear a slice of white bread and put it the bottom of a cereal bowl. Add milk to cover the bread. Add a large helping of strawberries. YUM!
