Summertime Strawberry Bars

In the summer when the days are hot,
I like to find a shady spot,
And hardly move a single bit
And sit, and sit, and sit, and sit.*

While you're under that shade tree, have a Poetry Teatime and a summery treat like the strawberry bars below!

1 1/2 cups flour

1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
4 oz strawberry jam
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 cups strawberries, chopped
3 ounces, white chocolate
