I am glad that you featured America’s Test Kitchen strawberry pie recipe. I used to buy their magazine long time ago, but had to cut back on the extra expenses. You were up front with where the recipe was from-didn’t try to take credit for it! Because of that, next time I get fresh strawberries, I will try it! Thank you!

In reply to Susan.

Hey Susan, I worked with America’s Test Kitchen for year and years (not in a paid context, but they would send me their new books and I would highlight a recipe from the book). I promoted a lot of their recipes (and still do) because they are solid really really good recipes, I’ve been a huge fan of their work for 2 decades now. It’s a way to support them and in turn they would put my reviews of their recipes on their website which is also good for my site. I do a lot of recipe development on my own but I’ve never had a problem sharing someone else’s recipe if it’s awesome. The recipe instructions will always be rewritten in my own words and the tips and tricks will be based on my own cooking experience, so it’s not like I don’t add to the value of what they have put together. I don’t think there is a recipe out there that hasn’t been based on something that already exists, even if there are tweaks and adjustments, that just the nature of cooking.

Dear Melissa,
I have tried many of your recipes, always been a hit, flavorful, hearty and full of great goodies. My question is: you are great on your own and I feel that you are honest, but why do you take a recipe from the test kitchen and post it. Do they not have their own website. I want your expertise and not be disappointed it is not yours, but you are promoting the test kitchen and other sources. Please be true to yourself. You seem genuine, but you are piggybacking other sources for your website. Please explain. Thank you.

I’ve been out in Missouri visiting family for a couple of weeks, my mom has the best strawberry patch so I made this pie for everyone (several of them actually, I have a big family). IT WAS SO GOOD! Not overly sweet but a little tangy. Oh my goodness, heaven. Not even a crumb left! Thanks!

Yummy! A delicious shortbread crust that’s so perfect you could just eat it like a cookie on it’s own is: 1.5 cups all purpose flour, 3/4 cup butter, and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar. Mix together, form into ball and refrigerate 30 min. Bake at 425 for 10 min. Let cool completely and then fill with desired toppings. Perfect for strawberry pies!

Has anyone ever pre cooked and froze this pie before and if so, how long can it last in the freezer?

That Strawberry Pie looks delicious. I think I will have to try this recipe. It would be great to plant all kinds of berries in a garden — as long as the prairie dogs and sparrows don’t eat them first. That happened to my grandpa one year, and he was mad.

This looks awesome–America’s Test Kitchen is the best, and you did a gorgeous job making the pie! I personally don’t love pie crust, and usually give the very outer crust to my husband. But, I use lard from our own hogs, and I think it makes a huge difference in baking. Surely you can fit a piglet into your farm somewhere? 🙂 I’ve contemplated the U pick berry patch for our own farm, but for now, we’re just enjoying our own berries–we should have strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and I bought a goji berry plant last year, so I’m anxious to see what that does! If I was doing it all over again, I would plant only a few blackberries, and LOTS of raspberries, instead of the other way around, but that’s my preference.
