Strawberry Pie
In anticipation of the upcoming strawberry season, the women in the community have started talking about their favorite ways to use them. Recipes are being passed around, and there is a sense of excitement as everyone waits for the berries to come on in full. This week’s recipe comes from Mrs. Ervin R. Gingerich, who has made this pie for many years and says it is one of the easiest ways to enjoy the fresh berries once they are ready to pick. She wrote this recipe down for us just the way she keeps it in her own kitchen. She mentioned that the filling sets up nicely and that the pie tastes best when the berries are firm and full of flavor. Many Amish families enjoy this kind of pie during the early part of the berry harvest, and it often shows up on the table when neighbors stop

Many Amish families enjoy this kind of pie during the early part of the berry harvest, and it often shows up on the table when neighbors stop by or when families gather on a Sunday afternoon. If you have fresh berries on hand, this Strawberry Pie is a simple way to enjoy the start of the season and bring a bit of sweetness to your week.
