A church potluck and a Christmas party were coming up - and we needed to bring a dessert to the party. We were busy to the inevitable suggestions was lemon bars. "But, I want something red, you know, for Christmas. . . I know, let's turn the lemon into strawberry!" And so, this recipe was developed, on the fly. It turned out visually AND tastefully beautiful.
