Hey Amy!

A couple of years ago, my hometown put together the latest collection of recipes from the members of the community.  It’s a great fundraiser for the Historical Society and more importantly, the great recipes of generations are put to paper for future generations to create.  I have fallen in love with many recipes in this book and hope to share many with you in the coming months.  Today I am focused on a most delicious pie recipe submitted by my dear GMB.  You will remember Miss B was my junior high school Home Ec teacher, my friend and most definitely a person who helped to shape me become the lady I am today.  Miss B’s recipes are ALWAYS a home run.  When I asked Miss B about sharing her recipes she said (ever the modest lady) that many of her recipes were not truly hers but rather from the previous generations of ladies in her family.  I think those are the best kind.  This one will not disappoint!

Ingredients:

2 pt. fresh strawberries
3/4 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
1 baked pie shell
whipped cream

Crush 1 pt. strawberries and place in a saucepan.  Add sugar and cornstarch.  Boil until thick and transparent, about 5 minutes.  Line pie shell with the other pint of strawberries (hauled and left whole).  Pour hot mixture over berries, chill.  Serve with whipped cream.

This is a great addition to a picnic, cook out, dinner or as a housewarming gift for your new neighbor.  Thank you Miss B for sharing this recipe!
