This is just like my Grandmother's recipe! I remember her making this when the local strawberries were ripe. Her recipe did say to crush 1 cup of strawberries and I always used my potato masher to really get them crushed. I have also used this filling over angel food cake and it is delicious. -
I wanted to give this recipe 5 stars for taste, but I'd give it 3 stars for presentation. I liked the fact that it didn't use jello or any food coloring. However, it just didn't LOOK like the strawberry pies I'm used to. Maybe if you pureed the berries instead of crushing them, it would have looked better, but it still wouldn't have turned out a clear red. I used a chocolate graham cracker crust, and the taste was awesome! Thanks for posting. I'd use this again if just having at home.

I was born in Oklahoma, raised in Fort Smith, Arkansas, went to college both in Lewisville, Texas and near Cleveland, Ohio. I met my husband who went to law school in Cleveland and much to my southern families dismay, have lived here in Ohio for 18 years. If I could have the best of both worlds, I would live in Ohio during the summer and fall and live in Arkansas for the winter and spring.
I am a mom of 5 children. Three girls and 2 boys and we have homeschooled them from the beginning. I love having my kids around but do enjoy getting to travel with my husband for overnight trips.
My husband and I are big Nascar fans. His favorite driver is Tony Stewart and mine is Kevin Harvick. This works out well except for when Harvick wrecks Stewart or vice versa. We often host Nascar parties in our home so I am constantly checking this website for great recipes with many reviews.
