Quote:Sorry about that Helen but you can at least save the recipe so you'll have it when you can get some good fresh ones. This pie is soooo good and soooo easy to make. I have made many in the past. Living here in SW Florida good fresh strawberries are available year round and I love putting them in a protein shake or making a run of freezer jam for my morning toast. :)Quote:EvelynThat's no fair!

Quote:You sure are sorry alright! You are just trying to rub it in, aren't you? You can't do anything right today, can you?!!I suppose the next thing you will be telling me is that you can get strawberries for 10 cents a pound or something ridiculous like that while we have to pay $4.00 a pound for red pieces of cardboard shaped like strawberries from the US ...at least that's what they taste like. Just for that I will tell you how to make your own Strawberry glace from fresh strawberries.Put strawberries in a pot and pour water over them until not quite covered. Bring the water to almost a boil until you see all the red come out of the strawberries into the water. Remove the strawberries and discard. Add sugar and thicken to desired thickness with cornstarch, not flour. Also add a pinch of salt. Also putting a tablespoon of butter in the water after it is hot adds a nice flavor (optional). Clarified butter is even better. Without the starch, this makes an awesome strawberry drink albeit not raw. Go ahead and enjoy your strawberries but don't tell me about it. Do you want to see an old lady cry? Think of that when you are eating your strawberry pie. hmph!I hope you are happy now that you have upset me.HelenQuote:Sorry about that Helen but you can at least save the recipe so you'll have it when you can get some good fresh ones.
