Notes

I only ever seem to make this when the strawberries and rhubarb in the garden are popping off late spring. If you’re not using the most amazing garden fresh strawberries and instead have a plastic clam-shell of store bought shipped up from Guatemala and ripened with ethylene gas, you might need to adjust the sugar. I’d, throw another 1/4 cup in for good measure.
