Sounds yummy. I make a strawberry dressing to go on a spinach salad that I make with sliced strawberries and I make candied pecans to go on the salad as well. To make my dressing I smash a few strawberries, add some really good balsamic vinegar and olive oil and sugar to taste. I also add some poppy seeds, shake well and toss with the spinach and strawberries. Everyone raves over it, as a matter of fact, I think I will make a huge one to take to our annual neighborhood 4th pot luck! Thanks for sharing yours, I never considered using jam, good substitute when strawberries aren't the greatest.
