I
put all my strawberry recipes on this one page, including my favorite Punch Bowl
Cake. There is two different types of Strawberry
Jams, and several fruit dips.
This first recipe is from a strawberry farm here in Shelton CT that is very popular. Also if you have some Bisquick, you can make a Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake
Jones Farm Strawberry Pie
1 1/2 qt fresh
strawberries
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
2 Tablespoons fresh
lemon juice
Wash and cap strawberries, reserve half of the best ones. Mash the other half and add sugar and cornstarch. Cook 5 or 6 minutes until thickened and clear. Stir in lemon juice. Cool. Add reserved berries, saving some for garnish. Pour into a 9 in baked pastry shell. Top with whipped cream. For an 8 inch pie use 2/3's of this recipe.
Glazed Strawberry Pie
4 cups strawberries
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 Tablespoon cornstarch
1/2
cup sugar
8 inch pie crust - baked
Wash strawberries and remove hulls. Add powdered sugar to 3 cups of the berries Let stand 1 hr. Crush remaining berries. Cook in 1 cup water for 2 min. Mix cornstarch with sugar and stir into the berries. Cook gently, stirring constantly for about 20 min. or until clear. Fill baked piecrust with the whole berries. Cover with the hot sauce. Cool. The sauce will become beautifully clear glaze when it is cold.
Strawberry Shortcake
I've
seen strawberry shortcake made many different ways. The most popular are the little
yellow short cakes you get in the produce section when you buy your strawberries.
Some people use pound cake.
But when we went to a Strawberry Festival one summer here in New England, they use biscuits instead of short cake. See the picture we took. Doesn't that look yummy? Or try Bisquick Strawberry Shortcake

Here's
how I make Strawberry Shortcake.
Just wash, hull and slice the strawberries
into a bowl, sprinkle with sugar, cover and put in fridge till suppertime. Then
slice your biscuits and top with some strawberries and pour a little of the syrup
on. Then top with cool whip or the canned whipped topping.
Fruit Short Cake
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Cream the butter, add sugar gradually, and egg well beaten. Mix and sift flour, baking powder, and salt, adding alternately with milk to first mixture. Beat thoroughly, and bake in a buttered round tin. Cool, spread thickly with sweetened fruit. Fresh strawberries, peaches, apricots, raspberries, or canned quince or pineapple may be used. When canned goods are used, drain fruit from syrup and cut in pieces.
Strawberry Cake Roll
3/4 cup flour3/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 eggs-room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 cup heavy whipping cream - whipped
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Early in the day: Preheat oven to 400. Line bottom of a 15 x 10 x 1 jelly roll pan with wax paper. Sift flour w/ baking powder and salt. In a bowl, with a mixer at high speed, beat the eggs until frothy. Beat in sugar gradually; continue beating until thick and light colored.
With spatula or spoon, fold in flour mixture and vanilla. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 13 minutes or until lightly browned. Lightly dust a clean dish towel with powdered sugar. When cake is done, loosen sides from pan with spatula. Invert onto the towel. Carefully peel away the wax paper. Cut off any crisp edges. Starting with the narrow end, roll cake very gently rolling towel into it. Cool.
Strawberry Bars
This is one of those recipes where it's worth the extra preparation time. Great for holidays or anytime. They are a real treat. They're like the original fruit bars.
Melt butter
and stir in corn syrup
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
Mix
in:
1 egg beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Sift together:
1
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
cinnamon
Stir the dry ingredients into the syrup mixture Spread half the batter in a greased and floured 11x7 inch pan Carefully spoon 3/4 cup strawberry preserves over the batter Then carefully spread the rest of the batter on top of the preserves. Bake at 400 for 20 to 25 minutes While still warm frost with powdered sugar icing.
Tip: If the batter seems too thick to spread add a little water to the desired consistency
Punch Bowl Cake
Punch Bowl Cake is one of my family's "all time" favorite recipes, an easy summer strawberry cake or anytime during the year.
1 pkg yellow cake
mix
2 lg can crushed pinapple(drained)
1 lg pkg vanilla instant pudding(dry)
2
lg tubs Cool Whip
6 bananas sliced
4 cups strawberries(fresh or 2 pkg frozen
Prepare the cake mix in 2 layers and slice to make 4 layers. Start with a layer of cake in the bottom of a large glass bowl. Add a layer of each of the following:
Pinapple
on the first layer
Banana on top of the pinapple
Sprinkle pudding mix
Spread
Cool Whip
Add sliced or frozen strawberries
Repeat 4 times. Top with remaining Cool Whip and decorate with strawberries Refrigerate. Delicious!
Punch Bowl Cake makes alot, but it still gets all eaten up. Great to take to a large party or church covered dish. It tastes fantastic and everyone loves it. You don't have to have a punch bowl either, any large container will do. I gave it 3 stars because it does take some time to prepare.

Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
This is a popular summertime treat. Just melt a bag of chocolate chips and dip the ends of the strawberries in the chocolate. Chill till you serve them.
One hour and 15 minutes before serving. Unroll the towel. Spread with whipped cream, sprinkle with berries. Roll up cake from narrow end, and place roll seam side down on a serving plate. Refrigerate. Just before serving sprinkle with powdered sugar. Tip: Use Cool Whip instead of whipping cream.
