Love the idea of using the remains of the strawberries to make fruit leather – I must keep that in mind next time I decide to make a fruit jelly and have a lot of strained fruit parts on my hands!

Megan, these pictures are glorious.
I recently went through a strawberry jam-jag – wish I had saved some for this!

Oh totally – I’m going to try the sorbet/fruit leather recipe duo with peaches once they’re in season. Actually, peaches would be a nice substitute overall for this dish – peach shortcakes. mmm.

This looks so beautiful and delicious Megan (Mimi-so cute!) -like everything you prepare . I have to say the fruit leather recipe is the absolute highlight for me and I cannot wait to try it! Fruit leather and I are best-est buddies and good quality ‘fl’ tends to get pricey when you do the math…and count up the amount of leather you actually get! Thank you for including this idea. I’m assuming we could make this using different fruits here (with adjustments of course) too? xo :]

Oh My Goodness! That strawberry in your picture looks perfect! The dessert looks just as fabulous – I’ve promised a friend who’s moving away a special dessert and I think I’ve got to make her this. Its perfect for summer.

I just did a post all about Creme Fraiche, but I hadnt looked at my Google reader yet to see if anyone had posted about it. This looks divine. I have a love affair with Creme Fraiche this week:)

So creative! This looks like a great dessert. We could eat those shortcakes all by themselves.
