It’s Summer Pie Practice Season.  Isn’t that what you call Spring?

Beautiful strawberries are starting to hit the markets, and they’re a bit early for super sweetness, but not too early to start experimenting with pies and practicing our lattice technique!

I hope this coming weekend finds you in the kitchen baking away.  Maybe throw some blueberries in this pie, or a handful of raspberries.  It’s the perfect time to get our Summer frame of mind right.  Also, doesn’t everyone want a pie in their house come Sunday night?

These strawberries are big, beautiful, and not quite sweet enough for pie.  Not to worry… nothing a little brown sugar can’t fix right up.

Here’s the good news:  strawberry pie is super simple to make. Sliced strawberries, sugars, cornstarch for thickening, a hint of ground ginger for balance, and lemon to bring out all the flavors!

Pie crust… well you know how I feel about pie crust.  Make it!  You’re a baking champion.

Let’s get to the recipe.
