  1. murkie REVIEW:

    Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great!!! I was worried it might be too sweet but the measurement of sugar was spot on with the strawberries I had. Will definitely make this again.

  2. sonniebanicki REVIEW:

    Turned out perfect

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    Wasted a lot of berries and sugar. Cooked in the crock pot for 6 hours and it never got thick! Needless to say, had to throw them away.

    • Did you remove the lid as directed? If they cooked for 6 hours uncovered they'd definitely be thickened
