LANCASTER The hot, muggy
weather that had many of us
melting last week has ripened the
hard, green strawberries into
irrestible red, plump and juicy
ones.
Now is the time to enjoy those
delicious berries that are coming
on with such abundance. If you’re
beginning to tire of strawberry
shortcake, don’t despair; there are
plenty of other ways to enjoy
strawberries.
You could try a six-layer
Strawberry Chantilly made with
layers of pie crust and
strawberries and cream. But if
you’re watching your figure now
that the bathing suit season has
arrived, a Fruit Platter Pie or a
Red, White and Blue Salad are
options you might want to pursue.
A Fresh Fruit Tart made with
pudding, whipped topping and
fruit, would make the perfect end
to a special summer meal. For a
more traditional, but equally
delicious dessert, try a fresh
strawberry pie.
FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE
19-inch baked pie shell
6 cups strawberries, about Vh.
quarts
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
Vz cup water
