Strawberry Shortcake mildly sweet and light Fresh strawberries make all the difference. They are abundant in the northeast in the early spring through summer. If fresh isn’t possible, purchase whole strawberries frozen and check the ingredients label. If they are sugared already, omit sugar. To be sure, taste them. There is nothing like fresh whipped cream! If you are used to whipped cream in a can, even though it says fresh whipped cream, just try it this way once. You’ll never turn back.
