This was enjoyed by all as a July 4th treat.... My dad, who doesn't eat strawberries or blueberries, said this was a wonderful pie and went back for seconds and thirds... He even ate some of what was left over the next day.... We were all outside enjoying the 4th and this was a great red/white/blue addition.... I didn't mash my strawberries up all the way and loved the chunkiness it had....
