Grandmas's Shortcake

Edith was my Grandmother. She had an enormous garden (in my child's eyes). On a summer's evening, my dad would drive us to her house. If we were lucky, we would get a lollipop AND some of her homegrown strawberries! She would have some strawberries marinating in a sweet syrup (sugar and water). Home made short bread and a dollop of real whipped cream. It was pure heaven!
