Trying to avoid the last-minute shame of last month, I’ve made May’s pie, the unlikely All-Strawberry Pie. Yes, you heard me. No tougher plants to compensate for the squishiness of the strawberries. Just strawberries.

Oh, and this stuff:

Anywho, it turned out well. Ryan claims he thinks it’s no mushier than apple, and while I wouldn’t go so far, its light balance of strawberries with mint, lemon and nutmeg is well worth it.

As ever, May’s Homemade Pie of the Month is from a recipe in Ken Haedrich’s Pie: 300 Tried-And-True Recipes for Delicious Homemade Pie. But with my grandma’s crust, since we like it best.
