📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place strawberries on their sides on cutting board and use chef’s knife to carefully cut off leafy green parts. Stand strawberries on cut side and slice strawberries. (If strawberries are large, cut slices in half.)
2
Place half of strawberries in medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and use rubber spatula to stir until combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
3
Transfer remaining strawberries to 10-inch skillet. Add lemon juice and 2 tablespoons sugar and use rubber spatula to stir until combined.

4
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally with rubber spatula, until strawberries are broken down and spatula leaves clear trail through jam mixture, 10 to ⏱️ 15 minutes. Turn off heat and slide skillet to cool burner.
5
Let jam cool in skillet for ⏱️ 5 minutes. Use rubber spatula to scrape jam into large bowl (ask an adult for help). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator until chilled, at least ⏱️ 30 minutes or up to ⏱️ 24 hours.
6
When ready to make fools, in second large bowl combine heavy cream, vanilla, and remaining 1 tablespoon sugar. Use electric mixer on medium-low speed to whip cream for ⏱️ 1 minute. Increase speed to high and whip until cream is smooth and thick, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Stop mixer and lift beaters out of cream. If cream clings to beaters and makes soft peaks that stand up on their own, you’re done. If not, keep beating and check again in ⏱️ 30 seconds. Don’t overwhip cream.
