Strawberry-Plum Summer Pie

JackieOhNo!'s Note:

I am definitely a pie person, and there is nothing like a fruit pie in the summer time. Stone fruits are so delicious, and berries complement them so well.

This pie was so wonderful... even my picky daughter loved it.... My 2 grandkids (7 and 4) loved it and was ready to do battle with my hubby for it. Thanks for a great recipe!!!
