Their season runs through April and May and then of course I can come home and ours will start in June.
We love fresh fruits in our house. We often eat them for dessert after dinner or for a snack. I have to admit summer fruits are my all time favorites. We have many opportunities to go pick your own in several places within a 50 mile range of our home. We start with strawberries and then move on to raspberries, black raspberries, blueberries and black berries.
A fresh strawberry pie is a favorite in our home. Big sweet juicy berries coated with a thin layer of glaze made from cornstarch and Jell-o and piled high in your favorite crust.
There are several flavorful crusts that work well with fresh strawberries. I have made and tried all butter crust, half butter half Crisco crust, store bought, graham cracker, short bread and a crushed pretzel crust.
There are also several types of glazes you can do as well. You can purchase a glaze where you add water, heat and stir, you can make the above Jell-o version or you can get a jar of seedless strawberry jam add a little water and heat on the stove, let cool and coat your berries.
Here is my recipe with the Jell-o version of glaze. Feel free to swap out and try different crust recipes.
