It’s been an amazing summer! I’ve jumped from farm to farm picking all the fresh berries. The only problem now is finding ways to use up all the fresh berries in my fridge. I have to say, my all time favorite berry would have to be strawberries. I can’t get enough! I had so many strawberries I thought why not make a fresh strawberry pie.
This is a fantastic pie recipe because it doesn’t take much preparation and if you start with pre-made pie crusts. Sometimes it’s nice to start with a homemade crust but often times if you’re in a rush or don’t necessarily like making the crust yourself then a store bought crust is a-ok in my book. The beauty with berries like strawberries, blueberries etc. is that they also freeze well so if you can’t use everything up just transfer the berries into a sealable plastic bag and pop them in the fridge.
