Strawberry Pie
“I was given this recipe from a good friend many years ago. It is my go to recipe. It is super easy. I make it for my family since they love strawberries. My coworkers also ask me to make it as soon as strawberry season comes around. They love it! You can really tell the difference between a store bought strawberry and a freshly picked one!”
