Fresh Double Berry Pie
I came up with this as a way to 'get rid of' a bunch of strawberries that I had purchaced for another purpose. I had some blueberries around, but not enough to do anything meaningful with -- so, I decided to use my Fresh Blueberry Pie recipe method with a twist. Everyone was raving about it. Most like it better than the plain blueberry version.
