2 cup Sugar
2 cup Water
One half cup Butter or margarine; melted
One half cup Shortening
1 One half cup Selfrising flour
One half cup Milk
2 cup Fresh strawberries; finely

Roll into a 12x8inch rectangle; sprinkle with the strawberries. Roll up,
jellyroll style, starting with a long side; seal the seam. Cut into 12

rolls. Bake at 350° for 4045 minutes or until golden brown and edges are
bubbly. Serve warm with whipped cream if desired.
