A sure sign it is spring in Oklahoma, an abundance of strawberries! Carolyn shares her Strawberry Pie recipe with us and tells us about a local grower who allows you to pick your own right from the field.
Strawberry pie is a local favorite and certainly a Piguet family favorite. Consistent with Carolyn’s commitment to Farm to Fork, the berries are freshly picked from a local farm called Horton’s Produce. This recipe is simple and delicious and tastes like spring.
Fresh Strawberry Pie

1 cup of Crisco

Mix salt with the flour. Using a pastry cutter cut Crisco into flour mixture till pea size texture. Add water to flour-Crisco mixture and mix with hand till it holds together. It will be a little tacky feeling – dust flour on surface to keep from sticking and roll out.
