Strawberry Yum Yum

I know that strawberry season is pretty much over, but this is a good refreshing dessert for the hot summer days!  Actually, it takes frozen strawberries, so you can make it anytime of the year.  I do not know where this recipe originated, but it is something that my mom made when I was a little girl.  It makes an 9x13 pan full of yummy frozen strawberry dessert!
