Double or triple as needed. I have to tell you a double batch doesn't last long around here! Mix with a fork or mixer. Dip away!!! and we only like natural food colorings, but for fun for the kids we add colorings to our dip, green for march, pink for april, ect.... I just noticed that someone else mentioned this one too, so I will leave my comment that she is very right it is wonderful!

Here are my two favorite strawberry dips... This one sounds odd - but it's great. Trust me. Dip straberry in sour cream, roll in brown sugar. Eat. The other one... Mix 8 ounces of cream cheese with a jar of marshmallow fluff. Good on just about any fruit. Cheers! Sounds great! Here are my two favorite strawberry dips…

Cool Whip isn't even recognizable as a food product if you read the ingredients. And for John Egan, have you tried Stevia as a sweetener instead of Splenda? Splenda is no better for your health than other artificial sweeteners. It is really an awful thing to put in your body. Stevia is an herbal "supplement". Due to the politics of the sweetener/sugar industry, the FDA prevents it from being labeled as a sweetener even though it is many times sweeter than sugar. And it tastes wonderful. I usually like 2 full teaspoons of sugar to sweeten my coffee, but it only takes an eighth of a teaspoon of Stevia in powder form to make it just as sweet. Oh no!

Nothing like local California strawberries.. I buy 1/2 flat for my son and me.. We just cut them up, dust with Splenda ... Strawberries seem OK on any type of diet.. In particular, we get Driscols here in the foothills.. (A shameless plug for California..sourdough, crab, asparagus, artichokes, strawberries and wine... The **best** of California..). And I have the same complaint about any fruit that is trucked in.. I don't even bother buying Washington apples.. What terrible bland nothings... I'm willing to bet they taste better up there locally though.. Thx jegan ;-) I agree… Nothing like local California strawberries.. I buy 1/2 flat for my son and me..

It's not the state that's the problem. Big-time agribusiness strawberries from any state are going to be sucky. They pick them too soon and they grow varieties that are bred for ship-hardiness, not taste. There are some organic farms that grow for taste and sell at local farmers markets. Lucero Farm is a California strawberry grower that grows ambrosial products, for instance. http://www.cuesa.org/markets/farmers/farm_58.php Swanton Farms also brings a superior strawberry to market and is union as well as organic. http://www.swantonberry.com/ Just sticking up for my state, here.

Take out the jam from that recipe. Mix the yogurt and coolwhip, then pour into a graham cracker crust. Freeze it overnight, then serve with fresh berries on top. I know a *very* similar recipe.

A neighboring town had their Strawberry Festival late last month and we picked many more strawberries than we knew what to do with. We gave a bunch away, and froze the rest. Thanks for sharing this quick and simple recipe - I think we'll thaw a few out and give it a try. Now you post this!

We have always called it "glop". Its also excellent with raspberry yogurt! My mom has a recipe like this, but she uses frozen strawberries instead of strawberry jam. We have always called it “glop”.
