Reviews
Took 6 hrs, not 2 1/2 hrs! The temp is either too low or there is too much puree and too thick to cook in a short amt of time, or both. My advice is to skip this one entirely. But if you must do it, use one quart of strawberries, not more, bc it is too much volume…then raise the oven to 200 degrees. Maybe it will take 4 hrs instead of six. Easier to buy it considering I used the most luscious beautiful strawberries for this, a crime I did that. Use tired berries to justify doing this recipe
