Strawberry Pie

What do I do when Jack brings me 6 quarts of strawberries?

Make strawberry pie!

Step 1: take a walk on the beach.

Step 2: Fine a “perfect bakeware” pie plate! I mean really! How can it NOT turn out amazing!

Step 3: Wash 6 quarts, cut off the stems, let sit overnight. (I didn’t have pie crust or the glaze–but we were planning a trip into town the next day.)

Step 4: To measure the perfect amount of strawberries for the pie–simply put them in the pie plate until heaping. I like a tall pie!

Step 5: Bake pie crusts. My favorite “cheating crust” is from Immaculate Baking #gmo free. I made a pie for us and a pie for Jack.

Step 6: Add the glaze to the perfect amount of strawberries. I thought the glaze was going to be horribly unhealthy but it actually isn’t that bad! Less food coloring and sugar than Oops All Berries!

Step 7: Enjoy! My family loves fresh whipped cream but I didn’t have sugar, so I used a bit of Frangelico for a nice hazelnut flavoring. (My brother used the leftovers in his coffee–waste not want not!)

I worked in a Ann Arbor deli making several dozen pies a week perfecting my blueberry pie and strawberry pie recipes. Now, I just make pies for the people I love!

Do you make an awesome pie? Leave a comment or better yet your recipe!

Be blessed.
