We are transitioning from Frozen Berry Pie to one of my favorite pies that my grandma made. So today I am re-sharing her recipe so you can enjoy her pie as well.
I must admit, strawberries are not in season right now in Maryland. In fact, their peak season is some time in May. If you are curious about what your crop availability is where you live, you can check out this handy harvest calendar.
While we all sit back and wait for strawberry season, here is Grandma's Fresh Strawberry Pie recipe for day three of the Five Days of Pie. Stayed tuned for tomorrow's sneaky recipe on what to do with your leftover dough from the perfect pie crust recipe.
