List of Ingredients




1 pound butter, softened
2-1/2 cups sugar
1 quart strawberries, hulled and quartered
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted*
3 egg whites, beaten until stiff
1 (12-ounce) box vanilla wafers, crushed


Recipe



Cream butter and sugar. Fold in strawberries, nuts, and beaten egg whites.

Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking or serving dish with one-third of wafer crumbs. Spoon on a layer of half the berry mixture, add another one-third of the crumbs, the remaining berry mixture, and the last third of the crumbs.
Chill several hours or overnight. To serve, cut into squares.

Makes 15 to 18 servings.


*To toast pecans, place in a shallow baking pan. Bake at 350*F (175*C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until pecans are lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

Cool. Or, place in skillet over medium heat and toast, stirring constantly, until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn nuts.
