Notes: Johnny writes: Growing up, strawberry season became my absolute favorite time of the year due to my dad making my favorite dessert. I always had a huge, sweet tooth and love for desserts, but this recipe is by far and away my all-time favorite. When he made it, the pie was such a big hit with the family that it would often disappear within just a few days. Quickly, we learned to implement a rule of one slice a day to try and prolong he life of our beloved dessert. Luckily, my dad would often have extra filling that was kept in a separate bowl. Grabbing a spoonful of this when craving the pie helped satisfy our cravings between slices. Making it even more special, when the wild strawberry plants in our yard became ripe, he would use those for the pie filling. Using the handpicked wild strawberries added another layer of love and appreciation for the pie, making every bite a "taste of home".
