This is the most wonderful Strawberry Pie without a box of jello or tons of cornstarch. The filling is cooked on the stove.Which gives the depth of flavor one expects from this lucious fruit.It recently was in "Cook's Country" Publication.

I had some trouble getting the crust to brown evenly. I think I might have needed to bake it for a few minutes longer.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a little bit more sugar to the strawberries. I found them to be a little tart for my taste.

The French cream topping is the perfect finishing touch to this pie. It's light and airy, and it adds a touch of sweetness and richness.

I've made this pie several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The crust is flaky and buttery, the strawberries are sweet and juicy, and the cream topping is light and fluffy.
