Combine the berries with 1/3 cup sugar and let stand for about 30
minutes. Drain and reserve the syrup. Fold in about 1/2 cups cool
whip into the drained berries and set aside. Lightly butter one side
of each slice of bread and sprinkle with a little sugar. Line bottom
and sides of 8×4 inch loaf pan with about 7 slices of the bread,
trimming bread to fit the pan. Using the reserved syrup drained from
the strawberries, drizzle over bread. (don’t soak it though) Arrange
fresh berries onto bottom. Cover with about three slices more bread,
trimming to fit. Drizzle more syrup. Arrange more strawberries and
cover with remaining bread. Drizzle with syrup. Cover with plastic
wrap and chill overnight.
Before presentation: Unwrap and invert onto serving platter. ‘Frost’

sprigs of mint.
