Dorion Strawberry Pie

Submitted by MA Blossom

"When we lived in Northwestern Ontario, we would go strawberry picking at Ouimet Valley Strawberries. As you left, the good people gave you a sheet of strawberry recipes. This one was originally called Wisconsin Strawberry Pie, but to me it will always remind me of a June day in Dorion. This pie is a summertime treat and easy to make."

So much better than the others IMO because the glaze tastes great and thickens up without gelatin. I also use this glaze for strawberry pizza. The grandkid likes it smothered in whip cream, but I like it straight. I beat the cream cheese with a bit of sugar, vanilla and a pinch of salt.
