More About This Recipe

Inspiration for this recipe came from Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest winner Amy Nelson’s fond memories of picking fresh strawberries on her grandparents’ strawberry farm when she was a kid. Stacked in wooden quart containers on her grandparents’ porch, the taste and smell of these sweet strawberries were unlike anything Amy has ever been able to find at a store, and hand-picking berries soon became a beloved family tradition. From processing and freezing the strawberries to turning them into sweet strawberry pies, ice creams, shortcakes, preserves and her favorite dessert—strawberry freeze—there was almost no limit to the delicious recipes Amy’s family could make with them. Amy won the 48th Pillsbury Bake-Off® Contest with her Bejeweled Cranberry-Orange Rolls, inspired by her mother’s cranberry salad recipe served at holiday dinners.
