This is a great recipe I created out of leftover cranberry sauce after Thanksgiving and a few slices of plain yellow cake. It is delicious, surprisingly light, and satisfying! Enjoy! You can sprinkle a little confectioners' sugar on top for an extra touch.

1/4 cup satsuma orange juice
1 pint louisiana strawberry, washed, hulled and quartered
