By now, you probably know that I like to freezer anything freezable! Well, here is another idea for a quick dessert.
The first recipe came from my cousin. It is a thick Danish and is good for on top of cakes and in other desserts. I also am experimenting with this one and the freezer. It is really thick and I am thinking it probably will get a little thinner from freezing but still be good for adding Cool Whip or on top of desserts.
The second recipe comes from my aunt. It is more like a topping for on ice cream. It is thin, but very good also. It is made for the freezer.
Mix together-
1 cup Therm-Flo (use this when freezing it. You can find it at the bulk food store.Other wise, you can use clear jell or cornstarch)
2 cups sugar
2 packages Strawberry Kool-Aid
To make Danish-
3/4 cup from above mix
2 cups water
Bring water to boil. Add mix and cook until thick. Cool a little, not cold. Add 2 cups strawberries.
Bake an angel food cake or yellow cake in cookie sheet. Mix together 1 pack cream cheese, 1 cup 10x sugar, and 4 oz Cool Whip. Put on top of cake. Spread Danish over cream cheese layer. Chill. Very good!
Strawberry Danish II
2 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup Therm-Flo
4 cups water
1 package Strawberry Kool-Aid
2 quarts Strawberries
Mix sugar and Therm-Flo and add to boiling water. Cook til thick and clear.
Freeze in containers.

Maybe I should go pick strawberries this morning! You have made me hungry.
I canned my Strawberry Danish--
3 qts crushed sberries
3 cups sugar
1 qt. water
1 pkg Danish Dessert
4TBSP cooking clear jell (heaping)
1 pkg of Sberry jello
Mix sberries, sugar and water in big kettle. Bring to a boil. Mix 1 cup water with Danish Dessert and clear jell. Add Jello for added thickness and flavor. Add to berry mixture and bring to a boil again. Put in cold quart jars. Cold pack for 10 minutes. Yield for 4 to 5 qts. (delicious as is or on top of ice cream--my hubby uses it on top of his morning cereal)
Next year, I made over 50 qts & it was all months ago.. So this year I am hoping to canned at least 60... hoping my sberries last that long!!
