Strawberry Pie

11472 shares

A week ago I made my mom’s strawberry pie and posted a photo of the finished product on my personal Facebook account with the caption “Who wants homemade strawberry pie? If so, bring dinner because I’ve yet to plan that…” Minutes later I got a text from one of my good friends that read “Hey! Don’t eat the pie!” She was thinking about having some friends over for dinner, and I guess my pie sealed the deal for her. Needless to say, I didn’t have to make dinner that night. Strawberry pie for the win.
 
The easiest and most delicious strawberry pie recipe!
 
My mom has been making this pie for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my mom, aunt, grandma, cousins, and I would pick pounds upon pounds of strawberries, bring them home, and make strawberry jelly. My mom would always make a strawberry pie or two with our freshly picked berries. I’ll have to ask my mom if she ever used the pie as dinner invitation bait.
 
 
The moral of the story? Make this pie, post a photo of it on Facebook, tell your friends you’ll bring the pie if they make dinner, your friends will invite you to dinner, and you won’t have to make dinner. You’re welcome.
 
 
Want another tip? Of course you do. Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time to make pie crust from scratch. I have episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey to watch important things to do. So I set the aluminum pie tin in a pretty pie dish to make it appear to be homemade. I love pastry trickery. People will most definitely find you out once you cut into the pie and uncover the shiny aluminum pie tin. But they’ll be so enamored with the delicious pie that they won’t notice that you didn’t make your crust from scratch.

    My husband is going to love you for sharing this recipe. He loves strawberries. No, I take that back. He’s obsessed with strawberries. Ever since he was little, he has requested a strawberry pie (from Shoney’s no less…ugh, not my fave) for his birthday instead of a traditional birthday cake. Now this year, I will definitely be making him this homemade strawberry pie and I can score some serious wifey points. 😉 Thanks for sharing!

    Pretty sure I’ve never made a pie before (unless pouring jello chocolate pudding into a graham cracker pie crust counts? haha)
    This looks like a good first pie to try 🙂

    Oh my goodness, I make this same exact recipe every summer as well and I feel the same way about it…this pie officially marks the beginning of summer for me! I made it two weekends ago and plan on making it again this weekend!

    I use a graham cracker crust when I make it…makes it a little sweeter (not that it needs to be sweeter) but I love graham cracker!

    Yep, this is the one my Mom always made, which means I have always made and now my two daughters are making it!!
    I did teach my daughters to make pie crust and believe me, it’s worth it. I don’t know why so many people are afraid of pie dough. It doesn’t take much time to make and it is the difference in a good pie and an awesome pie.

    I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come
    across a blog that’s equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which too few folks are speaking
    intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I found this during my hunt
    for something concerning this.

    I made an invitation using your strawberry pie image. I would like to post the invite with freebies (A printable and Silhouette Studio cut files). Would you give permission (I would credit and link the image back to your strawberry pie post) for me to use the image for this purpose?

    Would you use this technique in making fresh peach pie? peaches are one of my favorite fruits as well as strawberries.
    I have read other recipes and they mash up some strawberries to make the glaze and mine turned out terrible. There was also one that called for using cream cheese on the bottom so the strawberries did not bleed through the bottom crust.
    I am going to try your recipe. Looks like it might be just the ticket that I have been looking for.
