Strawberry-Hearts Shortcake

 
1 can country biscuits (NON-flaky kind)
Cleaned Fresh Strawberries

Sauce
1 lb. frozen whole strawberries
1/2 cup water
1 TBL. lemon juice
6 TBL. sugar (white)
Cool whip (set aside for topping) 

Make the sauce first. Put the strawberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar in a sauce pan on high heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and the strawberries are soft. Chill the sauce in the fridge.

To Make Heart Strawberries: Ok, you're going to have to experiment here and i will do my best to explain since I didn't take a picture. Sorry! =) PULL off the green stem of the strawberry-DO NOT cut off =) Slice the strawberry down the center length wise (use the photo). Take a perry knife and cut the bottom sides to form the point of the heart. Use the perry knife to gently cut the top of the strawberry into a heart. Only make as many hearts as you have biscuits! =)

Take your store bought biscuits and place them on a baking sheet. Place one heart on each top and very gently press the strawberry SLIGHTLY down into the biscuit.

1/2 way through the baking process open your oven and re-push down your hearts into your biscuits. Let the biscuits finish baking. Bake according to package instructions.

Top with the chilled strawberry sauce and cool whip!
