The seasons best berries are now in season so what better way to showcase these precious rubies of summer then in a scrumptious pie.

Things You'll Need

• Fresh Strawberries
• Pie Crust
• ¼ cup Sugar
• ¼ cup strawberry jam
• 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
• Small kettle

Instructions

1. Preheat oven at 350 degrees

2. Prepare pie crust or you can use a store brought crust. With a fork make several small pokes around the base of the crust.

3. Place another pie plate on top of the pie crust and fill with a small bit of water or dry beans. To add a bit of weight to the top plate. This plate is going to keep your crust in place and help prevent it from bubbling.

6. Return crust to oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

7. Clean and wash your strawberries removing stems and leaves allow to dry.

9. Align your strawberries in the pie shell. Pour glazing liquid over strawberries.

10. Refrigerate pie for about an hour.

11. Serve with whipped cream and enjoy summer

Tips & Warnings

• Beside big bold strawberries crowning the pie I like to dice several smaller berries up and align the bottom of the crust with berries this way every bite will be delicious.
