In the South the weather is always so baffling, it will be so darn cold well, to me anyway for what feels like forever, then it will be Spring for about a week, then straight into a super hot & humid summer.
This year is no different, because that is exactly what it did this week, it was already in the 90’s yesterday, and honestly I’m so not gonna complain because I am no fan of cold weather, but with the high temps comes my yearning for this pie.
This is another recipe that comes from my mom, I can say I have been eating this pie my whole life, because during the summertime this pie was a constant fixture in the house.
I can see why now, this pie is darn easy to make, light, cold, full of fresh summer strawberries, and no reason at all to turn the oven on.
This pie is ready in no time, and trust me you won’t be able to have just one slice, Happy Monday Y’all!
