Fresh strawberries, what could be better? Fresh picked from our own patch!
We started a strawberry patch last spring. It is fun to finally be able to eat from it. We have purchased most of our Berry Plants and Fruit Trees from a company called StarkBros. Their plants and trees are well grown. They ship according to your 'cold hardy' zone and are always available for 'cold zone' questions, planting questions, instructions and advise. They also offer a free replacement if you are not not completely satisfied with your purchase.
What do we do if we have extra strawberries? Make Fresh Strawberry Pie! This is an easy recipe, but always turns out delicious.
Strawberry Pie
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 T cornstarch
3 T strawberry Jello
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
4 T cornstarch
3 T strawberry Jello
*Mix sugar and cornstarch. Add to water. Boil until clear. Add 3 T strawberry Jello. Let cool.
*Clean and cut 3 - 5 cups strawberries. Pour cooled syrup over strawberries, and gently mix. Put strawberries and syrup in a pre-baked pie shell (recipe below). Chill for several hours until set. Serve with Whipped Cream.
Pre-Baked Pie Shell
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 T cold milk
2 T sugar
1/2 cup oil
*Mix dry ingredients. Add milk and oil. Stir until mixture forms a ball. Press into a pie shell. Prick all over with a fork. Bake at 400* for 12 minutes. Cool.

Fresh strawberry pie....one of my favorites! This sounds fantastic.
Mmmmm...yummy. I planted new strawberry plants this year and they are not doing well. I'm new to gardening and not sure if I've done something wrong.
Thou shalt not covet...I will try not too, even though yours look great!
