More About This Recipe

  • There’s just something about mini foods that gets me every single time. I guess that technically, these may not be considered mini. Maybe more like individual. But to me that just means instead of having one I get to have two, because everyone knows a mini serving is just an excuse for seconds. It’s why we love mini foods so much. Logical, right? So, apparently strawberry pie is one of the top three Thanksgiving pies (number two, behind apple). Who would have thought? I guess you can’t deny it, strawberry pie IS pretty delicious. Especially when served in half-pint-sized canning jars with cute little cinnamon sugar pie-crust cookies. Love it!
