Ruby Alice's Strawberry Sour Cream

I had to clean out the fridge a bit last night to make way for the lovely strawberries that I am picking up from my CSA tonight. One of the things that had to be used was a previous round of strawberries that was on its last legs. There were not quite enough berries for an all-strawberry pie, and what was left definitely had to be cooked, so I used it as an excuse to try a strawberry sour cream pie recipe that I got recently from my cousins Bob and Janet. The recipe comes from Bob's mother, Ruby Alice. I haven't cut into the pie yet, but the smell is incredible - Ruby Alice obviously knew how to bake. I do love a sour cream pie. Apple sour cream was my favorite for a while, but now I'm seeing that I'm going to have to do more with berries. And just wait till fresh peach season!

Wow, the pie lab has been busy. I think it's too hot here now to make pie crust; my kitchen gets a lot of sun. I've never had apple sour cream pie, or even seen a recipe for it. Sounds tasty, though!

yeah, the pie lab is mostly active after dark, and even then with the a.c. on. Sour cream fruit pies are great - this one turned out very well if I do say so myself. Most of my co-workers generally say that my pies are adequate, but with this one I actually had people request the recipe...
