Yummy Jersey Strawberry

[?]

By FLORENCE L.D. HEAL What could be finer than the Jersey strawberry? I like to eat them as I pick them, dirt and all. It is safer and better to wash before eating. Don't wash them too far ahead of when you plan to use them, and drain them well.

Save 3/4 cup for topping. Chill. Filling: 2 cups strawberries sliced 1 pint heavy cream Slice strawberries. Place into a chilled bowl with heavy cream. Beat with electric beater until stiff.

I was asked to repeat the following recipe: STRAWBERRY SHERBERT 1 quart strawberries 2 cups granulated sugar Juice of l lemon 3/4 cup water Mix strawberries, sugar and lemon and let stand 1 hour. Add water and crush through colander. Freeze. If you are trying to use up the strawberries you froze last year to make room for this year's supply or want to use already prepared strawberries, the following recipes might fit the bill.

Sorry, but you cannot At age 34 you are no longer eligible for child's survivors benefits. The maximum age for getting these benefits is 18.
