This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery.
Summer is the best time for pie making because of the bounty nature offers: cherries, peaches . . . Oh who am I kidding? In my book there are 4 pie seasons: summer, fall, winter, and spring! So to rephrase, summer pie season is fantastic because stone fruits and berries are bedazzling our markets and just begging to be made into pies.
I was at Harmons (my favorite grocery store) recently buying stone fruit to make my summer stone fruit salad and I happened to glance over at the strawberries, which promptly beckoned me to buy them. So I heeded their siren call, brought some home and made them into a strawberry pie.
I washed and hulled them, then put half of them in a pot with some coconut sugar and tapioca and cooked them down until I had a thick jam. Then I took the fresh ones and stuck them in a baked pie crust and poured the jam over the top, then stuck the pie in the refrigerate to chill.
It’s mighty hard to beat the taste of a fresh strawberry pie made from mid-summer strawberries. Top a slice with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and you’ve got nirvana on a plate.

My favorite pie for summer is a strawberry cream cheese pie, apple pie would be next.
Mmmmm, now that’s one I haven’t had! Sounds absolutely spectacular!
Lemon meringue is the favorite but chocolate cream pie is a close runner-up.
Both such delicious choices!!
Wow, that’s a tough one. Maybe white chocolate and raspberries pie? Or perhaps a really rich chocolate pie? Or possibly apricot pie? After reading this post, maybe it’s strawberry pie!
Mmmmmm, now that I come to think of it, I don’t know if I’ve ever had an apricot pie! How is that possible? I’m deprived!!!
There is nothing that says summer more than strawberries!
I so agree Kelie!
Not sure if I’m signed up for the giveaway but I love the looks of your strawberry pie.
Love how simple this is! We’re blessed with such sweet local strawberries here in LA and this is a perfect way to use them
Yes you are!!!
My favorite kind of pie is the pie that we happen to have at the moment. I love pie! Maple Cream Pie is particularly good in Vermont. Macadamia Nut Cream Pie is good in Hawaii. Peach pie is good right now in California. Looks like Strawberry Pie is going strong at your house!
You and I are kindred pie spirits! I’ve never had Maple Cream Pie. Let’s take a trip to Vermont so you can introduce me!
It’s a toss up between Lemon Meringue and Strawberry. Depends on my mood at the time I guess.
I totally understand that sentiment! I’m all over the place on my own favorites.
I love ANY and ALL pie lol:) My fave is coconut cream pie though! YUM!
I must make your strawberry pie. It looks heavenly!! I forwarded the email newsletter from this post to a friend:)
Thank you for the chance to win the cool prize pack!
