Mamma's Strawberry Pie

Have you ever had Shoney's strawberry pie?? Even though I haven't been to that restaurant since I turned 13 (you don't eat free after 13), the sweet memories of Shoney's strawberry pie lingers in my mind. Well, that sweet memory made it's way to my tastebuds recently and turned into a big-time craving! The tricky thing with this pie is that it is a "seasonal" pie, meaning-- they have it when they have it. Well-- any other time in life I could probably wait a year for the next round of pies to be offered-- but this pregnant lady needed some of that pie! Not to be discouraged, I just made it myself as I thought I remembered it-- all the while thinking: 'This is just too simple, it's not going to be the same". Ha Ha! When all was said and done-- it turned out exactly as I remembered it!!!!! So-- for anyone else out there craving strawberry pie-- I will share my recipe with you.

Strawberry Pie:

Bake a Wal-Mart frozen pie crust (according to the instructions for a pre-baked crust). Rinse 2 packages of fresh strawberries and cut off the green tops. Pat them dry a little bit and then add a little tub of that strawberry glaze. Mix it all together and dump it in the cooled crust. Serve with whipped cream. MMMMMM... I love this pie!

(Note: don't go overboard on the strawberry goo (it doesn't taste that good anyways)-- just use enough so that it coats the strawberries-- (you might not use the whole tub)
