:: Strawberry Shortbread Pie & Giveaway ::
Okay, so I am going to date Sara and I with this Strawberry Shortbread Pie Recipe. We don’t talk about our age, but let’s say besides Sara being my favorite red head; Strawberry Shortcake was mine as a kid. Luckily our girls have been able to experience one of our favorite childhood characters. Strawberry Shortcake and Cabbage Patch Kids were a big deal at the age of 5. In fact because of Strawberry Shortcake, I had asked for a Strawberry Cake for my 6th birthday party. From then on I loved everything that was strawberry. This Strawberry Shortbread Pie is an ode to all things strawberry. These little red berries make me happy and their sweetness makes for a winning combination with Walkers Shortbread Round Cookies. The mixture of the two makes for an awesome yet simple spring time pie!
We are a little blessed to experience these magical berries for most of the year. Sometimes we forget that strawberries aren’t as readily available to most of the country until the summer. Strawberries honestly, {besides all the talk of Strawberry Shortcake talk} have been a big part of my life. My Grandma Joan was a Californian Native. She was a fourth generation Californian. Making her family here in the state long before it was even a state. She had a fondness for strawberries. She liked to bake with them and she grew them in her backyard. My sister and I loved to see the little white flowers turn into red berries. Picking them and eating them straight from her garden was our favorite part.
In fact in a way this recipe is dedicated to her. It is my Grandma’s Strawberry Pie Recipe. I hope you enjoy it….
