Strawberry Picking Weekend Tradition

I'm all about starting family traditions and continuing old ones.  For strawberry picking weekend we are continuing a tradition Brett grew up with- eating strawberry shortcake for dinner :-)  Not the healthiest...but delish!  We also included strawberries in everything we made that weekend, from strawberries on salad to strawberry pancakes.  I also finally made some strawberry jam.  Even after giving several jars away, our freezer is stocked with strawberry jam!  I will say I have some adjusting to do next year on the recipe...I reduced the sugar way back, which sweetness and taste wise turned out perfect....but I added too much gelling stuff...so it was a bit jello like in texture...  I did add lemon which was pretty tasty.  We also used rhubarb in one batch- maybe that one won't be as jello like...I don't think I added as much gel schtuff...  We'll see.
