Directions
Ruby Red Strawberry Pie,What could be better in berry season than Fresh Strawberry Pie? Will you have a slice?,Delicious pie! I loved that it called for some mashed berries in the sauce and NOT strawberry gelatin like some recipes. It seemed far more honest and flavorful. I did not use the food coloring – it didn’t need it. I’m glad I made a regular pastry crust – I think a graham cracker crust might have been too sweet. The lemon zest in the unsweetened cream cheese was GENIUS!! What a zing of contrasting flavor without more sweetness. Love this. Thanks!
