Alright, let’s talk about that there strawberry pie, the one with the sweet milk stuff, you know, that condensed milk. My grandbaby, she calls it “strawberry pie sweetened condensed milk,” fancy like. But to me, it’s just good eatin’.
First off, you gotta get yourself some strawberries. Not them hard, pale ones from the store. Nah, you want the ones that are red all the way through, juicy and sweet like summer sunshine. If you can get ‘em fresh from the field, even better. Them store-bought ones, they just don’t taste the same, you know? They’re kinda…watery. Like they ain’t seen the sun in their whole lives.
Then you need a pie crust. Now, I ain’t gonna lie, I usually just buy them ready-made ones. Ain’t nobody got time to be fussin’ with flour and butter all day, specially not when you got a hankerin’ for pie. But if you’re one of them fancy bakers, you go right ahead and make your own. Just make sure it’s a good, sturdy crust, ‘cause that there filling is gonna be heavy.
Okay, now for the good part. The sweet milk stuff! You take a can of that there sweetened condensed milk and pour it in a bowl. Don’t go lickin’ the spoon just yet, there’s more to come! Then you gotta add somethin’ sour, to cut the sweetness a bit. Some folks use lemon juice, but I like to use a little bit of sour cream. Just a dollop, you know, a good spoonful. Mix it all up good, till it’s nice and smooth.
- Get your strawberries cleaned and sliced. Don’t want no dirt in your pie, now do ya?
- Mix the condensed milk and sour cream. Like I said, get it smooth.
- Put the strawberries in the pie crust. Don’t be shy, pile ‘em high!
- Pour the milk mixture over the strawberries. Make sure every berry gets a good coat.
After that, you just gotta let it chill. Now, I know it’s hard to wait, but trust me, it’s worth it. That sweet milk needs time to set up, and them strawberries need time to soak up all that goodness. I usually stick it in the fridge for at least a couple of hours, but overnight is even better. That way, the pie gets nice and cold, and all the flavors really come together. It’s the perfect dessert, especially on a hot day.
And that’s all there is to it! Simple as pie, right? This ain’t no fancy recipe, just good, honest food. The kind that sticks to your ribs and makes you feel good all over. My mama used to make this pie, and her mama before her. It’s one of them family recipes that just gets passed down, you know? The kind that makes you think of home and happy times. So next time you’re lookin’ for a sweet treat, give this strawberry pie a try. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
And don’t forget, a little bit of love is the most important ingredient. You gotta put your heart into it, you know? That’s what makes it taste so good. It ain’t just about followin’ a recipe, it’s about makin’ somethin’ special for the people you care about. And that’s what makes this pie so darn good, if I do say so myself.
Now, I gotta go, got some dishes to wash. But you go on and make yourself that pie. And don’t forget to share it with your loved ones. That’s what makes it extra special. Enjoy your homemade pie!
Some folks like to add a little somethin’ extra, you know, to make it their own. A sprinkle of cinnamon, a dash of vanilla extract, maybe even some other fruit mixed in with the strawberries. It’s all up to you! That’s the beauty of it, you can make it however you like. Just have fun with it, and don’t be afraid to experiment.
This here strawberry pie recipe ain’t set in stone. If you don’t have sour cream, try a little bit of yogurt. If you don’t like lemon juice, try lime juice. It’s all about makin’ do with what you got. That’s how we did it back in the day, and the food always tasted good. So don’t worry too much about followin’ the rules, just use your common sense and your taste buds, and you’ll be just fine.
