"Strawberry pie is the ultimate taste of summer, 2 quarts an approximate amount of strawberries, it can be a little more or a little less, depending on how many strawberries you have and how high you want the pie be. Fresh strawberries simply don't keep well beyond a day sothis pie should be eaten on the same day it is made"
