I recently went to our local strawberry farm and picked a bunch of fresh juicy strawberries. I LOVE to have these berries year round so I usually make a bunch of jam, as well as, freeze them for smoothies, overnight oatmeal, and of course baking. Along with a pie or two, and some muffins, I decided to bake a family favorite. Strawberry Crumb Bars. And to add a little 'something-something' to the usual recipe, I created a sweet lemony glaze that I drizzled over the top of the bars after they had cooled. It really did take these yummy bars 'over the top'!

Could this possibly be made with thawed frozen strawberries instead of of fresh if making when strawberries are not plentiful or hard to get in the store?
