Strawberries are known in most parts of the world, particularly in Europe and North America, and few other fruits can compare with the strawberry in point of flavor. Its name is said to be derived from an age-old custom of putting straw beneath the berries when they began to ripen, which helps to keep them moist and clean for picking. This tasty red fruit has been popular with cooks for centuries, and it's great in pies.

Deep Dish Strawberry Cream Pie Recipe

This vintage strawberry pie recipe is taken from "The White House Cook Book" by Hugo Ziemann, Steward of the White House, and Mrs. F. L. Gillette, a celebrated 19th-century cookbook author, published by The Saalfield Publishing Company, New York, in 1913.

This delicious pie was often enjoyed at the president's summer lawn parties at the White House.

After picking over the berries carefully, arrange them in layers in a deep pie plate lined with puff paste, sprinkling sugar thickly between each layer; fill the pie plate pretty full, pouring in a quantity of the juice; cover with a thick crust, with a slit in the top and bake.

When the pie is baked, pour into the slit in the top of the pie the following cream mixture: Take a small cupful of the cream from the top of the morning's milk, heat it until it comes to a boil, then stir into it the whites of two eggs beaten light, also a tablespoonful of white sugar and a teaspoonful of cornstarch wet in cold milk. Boil all together a few moments until quite smooth; set it aside and when cool pour it into the pie through the slit in the crust. Serve it cold with powdered sugar sifted over it.

Raspberry, blackberry, and whortleberry pies may be made the same.

These strawberry pie recipes work best with fresh-picked strawberries; however, if you can't obtain fresh berries, the frozen or canned variety may be used in a pinch, and the pie will still taste very good.

You will love the fresh, fruity flavor of strawberry in these old-fashioned strawberry pies. And they really taste good with homemade vanilla ice cream!
