This recipe couldn't be any easier, just blend the ingredients together, pour into your ice

Strawberry preserves recipe to enjoy for the rest of the year

Add your links below if you are participating in Vintage Recipe Thursday. I'm sharing about preserves today.

Look at all these vintage tresures.
Sometimes we need a plain, basic white cake. It is so versatile and can be decorated or colored in so many ways. So many recipes are for fancy cakes that we will make once, but never again. Not so for a classic recipe like this one.

You don't have to give chemicals to your family and friends, but you can still have pretty cookies in every color of the rainbow.
