Bake in a 375 degree F. oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 25 minutes more or till golden. Server Warm, plain or with vanilla ice cream. Makes 8 servings.
Double-Crust Pastry Ingredients: (p 288) - 2 cp. all purpose flour - 1 tsp. salt - 2/3 cp. shortening or lard - 6 to 7 tbsp. cold water
In a mixing bowl stir together flour and salt. Cut in shortening or lard until pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tbsp. of the water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push to side of bowl. Repeat till all is moistened.
Divide dough into two parts, forming each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, take one of the halves and flatten the dough with hands. Roll dough from centre to edge, forming a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Wrap pastry around rolling pin. Unroll onto a 9" pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful no to stretch pastry. Trim pastry even with rim. For top crust, roll out remaining dough. Place desired pie filling (i.e. strawberry-rhubarb filling) into pie shell. Top with pastry for top crust. Trim top crust 1/2-inch beyond edge of pie plate.

Ingredients: - 4 to 4-1/2 lbs Strawberries - 1 Gallon Water - 2 lbs. Sugar - 1 tsp. Acid Blend (Do Acid Test) - 1/8 tsp. Tannin - 1/2 tsp. Peptic Enzyme - 1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient - 1 Campden Tablet (plus more tablets for each rack) - 1 pack Cote's de Blanc Yeast
Wash and remove the stems and leaves. Use a straining bag and fill with the strawberries. Tie the top, commence to crushing and mashing. Leave straining bag in the bucket. Add water, sugar, acid blend (do test), tannin, peptic, enzyme, and yeast nutrient . Stir well. Before you add the yeast, you will need to sterilize the must. Crush up one campden tablet and add to the must. Stir and cover for 24 hours. Now you may add the yeast. Stir well, cover and stir every day for 4-5 days. Then siphon into your 1 gallon jug, put rubber stopper on and airlock. Siphon every 2 weeks and add 1 crushed campden tablet every time you rack. It will take about 2-3 months before your wine is clear enough to bottle. You can make more than one gallon if you just multiply out the recipe to however many gallons you want to make. One pack of yeast will work for 5-7 gallons. ENJOY!

You can make a really good strawberry drink
by putting a cup or two of strawberries in a blender with lemonade. You do have
to be careful of all the seeds, though.

Hull and slice 1 pint of strawberries.
Mix remaining ingredients and form into a ball. Roll out dough. Spread with chopped strawberries. Roll up like a jelly roll. Cut in slices approximately 1 inch thick and place in a greased 13" X 9" pan. Pour syrup over rolls. Bake at 450°F for 25 - 30 minutes. Let cool.

I love strawberries especially, but the
wonderful flavour comes from mixing fruits. I do not use any frozen fruits but
I recommend any of the following: Strawberries, Pineapple, Banana,
Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Honeydew, Melon, Kiwi Fruit, Apple, Pears. If
you use apples and/or pears, core and slice thinly (1/8-1/4 inch) and place
around the edge of the bowl standing up. This makes the holding capacity of
the bowl greater! Yum-Yum!
Layer the following in a soup bowl: - 1/2 C Vanilla yogurt - 1/2 C Heartland Granola - 1 C Mixed Fruit (cut up to spoon size)

Sounds really simple...Tastes really
good!
- Half-fill tall glass with washed, sliced, fresh strawberries. - Add milk (low-fat or whole) just enough to cover berries. - Add sugar (or sugar substitute)** +/- 1 tsp.
Blend in glass with wand-type hand blender, on fairly high speed, until all lumps are gone and glass has "filled up". Serve immediately.
** I prefer Equal to Sweet 'n Low -- 1 or 2 packets seems best
