You really can make a strawberry pie in 15 minutes (excluding baking time), even if you don’t have any experience. There are four easy steps.
Step #1: Mix the Dough.
Prep time: 2 minutes

Step #2: Form and Bake the Crust.
Prep time: 4 minutes
Roll the dough to a scant 1/4 inch, more like 3/16, lift the dough into your pie pan and form the edge of the crust as shown.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and cover the bottom with pie weights or beans to keep bubbles from forming. Bake for about 15 minutes at 375.
Step #3: Hull and Slice the Berries.
Prep time: 6 minutes
Use a stiff plastic straw to hull your berries. McDonald’s straws are perfect. Hull your berries as shown. Use the slicer to slice your berries as shown. You’ll have nice, neat slices in no time.

Step #4: Spoon on the Glaze.
Prep time: 2 minutes
Spoon the glaze over the berries and place your pie in the refrigerator to chill. Serve with whipped cream.
You’re done.

Well, I have no problems eating a good strawberry, apple, cherry or lemon meringue pie. Mom was an excellent pie maker but always taught us moderation in all things. With five boys and a girl we were lucky to get a slice of that fantastic treat!

As Latter-Day Saints I have become observant of how much we have made sweets and treats our God. These articles sitting next to Jane Birch's articles on the word of wisdom seem incongruent. I'm trying to clean up my act and ban sweets and treats and all there other bad ingredients. Better than pie and easier is a fresh washed strawberry dipped in a pure sour cream and then dipped in some organic cane brown sugar. That's as bad as I can go. Sorry
