Strawberry Pie Recipe
I remember when I was a child if I ever got the lucky option of choosing the dessert, this was the one for me. The fresh strawberries are just molded into place with the gelatin glaze. Smothered, of course, in a heaping pile of whipped cream, that was always my number one pick. This pie, to me, just tastes like summer. If summer had a taste, it would be strawberry pie.

Overall, the end product was a really good, authentic Pennsylvania Dutch Strawberry pie. I personally didn’t have much trouble with overmaking filling (is that really a problem though? Just save leftover as topping for other desserts) or not being able to manage the sauce (just put it in the microwave for 20 seconds, if it really is too unmanageable).
Real good recipe thx enjoyed
This is one recipe that I made that was the biggest fail ever. I followed step by step the directions. Number one, a quart of strawberries is way too many. It should be a pint instead. After cooking the glaze, the directions said to let it cool. After about 30 minutes it was a glop of a mess. It quickly gels and is no longer able to be poured. I still put the glaze and strawberries in a large glass container and mixed with my hands the best I could. It was twice the amount needed for a deep dish pie plate. Was going to serve tonight but have to keep here for me to nibble on. Not a pretty pie at all. You tell me where I went wrong? A waste of time and money making this. And again, I followed the instructions and the amounts were on spot. Never deviated from the directions.
