This recipe was very easy to follow. The pie turned out great and my family loved it. The only thing was that the strawberries weren't as sweet. That was probably because I decided to make this pie in the winter, instead of the summer. This is not the season for strawberries. -
Very nice!! Not too sweet, and not too tart and the crust was perfect. A great use for fresh strawberries. -
This was a little hard for me (my first real pie) LOL, but it was very nice. My crust was a little under cooked, but the strawberries were so perfect. Thanks!
