Strawberry Whipped Cream Rolls

It is strawberry time!  And the sight of those tubs full of beautiful juicy red berries that the sisters are bringing in every morning is a joyful one to behold.  It makes me so happy just to look at them and I see a smile come over the face of each person who sees them.

This week we will celebrate the 80th birthday of one of the sisters with old fashioned fresh strawberry shortcake made with traditional biscuits and whipped cream. In the days ahead different sisters will volunteer to make their favorite strawberry desserts and I am making a request right now for my mother’s special strawberry whipped cream rolls. Helping her make them is one of my most pleasant childhood memories.
