Strawberry FLOP!

We had a picnic with some of the small groups from church on Sunday night. I signed up to bring a dessert. So, I thought it would be fun to try something different and the flavor of strawberry lemonade was in my head. Naturally, I went to google.

This was the picture I saw online:

This is the mess that I made in the kitchen:

And this is how I would describe my face as I ate one of them.

They definitely tasted like strawberry lemonade, and the crust was AMAZING (shortbread crust - yum!). But, they were REALLY tart and experiences like this are why you aren't supposed to bring a new recipe to a potluck. Dan and I saw a few faces as they tried them and I think they had the same reaction that we did. Unless I can think of a good way to make these a bit sweeter, without adding another cup of sugar, I probably wouldn't make these again.

Lesson learned - always test a recipe!!
