How to make strawberry squares:

Mix flour, brown sugar, walnuts and butter. Sprinkle mixture evenly in shallow baking pan. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to make crumbs. Sprinkle 2/3 of crumbs in 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan; reserve remaining crumbs. Beat egg whites until frothy; gradually add sugar and lemon juice, beating to stiff peaks. Add Highland strawberries; continue beating until peaks reform. Fold strawberry mixture into whipped cream. Spoon over crumbs in prepared baking pan; top with reserved crumbs. Freeze 6 hours or overnight. Cut in squares.
