🔎Top tips
When cutting up the strawberries, if you see white inside of them, instead of pink and/or red, remove the white spots. The white has no flavor. You are looking for the pink and red areas inside of the berry.
Using a strawberry huller makes life so much easier! Once you start using it you will be wondering why you haven’t gotten one before!
If you haven’t invested in pie weights, I highly suggest that you do! These work great when it comes to holding your pie down when baking the crust.
❔FAQ
The difference is you can serve more people with a slab pie then a regular one.
📚History Behind the Recipe
We haven't been able to really find the exact time when this type of pie was invented, however, I did find some trivia I thought you would enjoy.
Back in 1796, there were only three different types of sweet pies. Another cookbook, that was written around the later part of the 1800s, shows 8 sweet pies. And the Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking, in 1947, shows 65!
