Notes

You could use premade strawberry preserves for this recipe and have a super quick pie snack. 

While making the jam from scratch it will be important to keep stirring the mixture in the pot as it cooks because it can and will burn. 

Once the slurry is added the mixture will thicken quickly.

Question: I know the recipe calls for 1 tsp. cream cheese to be spread onto each round, but cream cheese is missing from the ingredients list. I was getting ready to make these and just happened to notice. Luckily, I have cream cheese on hand and read through the recipe prior to making.
