Happy Independence Day from "Roots, Shoots, and Fruits: the Incredible Edible Garden!" Read on for a delectable and patriotic treat that you can make with Minnesota grown strawberries!
Red, White and Blue Pie
Ingredients:
2 lb. strawberries, cleaned & sliced, divided
1 pt. blackberries or blueberries
1 C. granulated sugar
1 deep dish pie crust, baked
Sweetened whipped cream, as needed
Instructions:
1. Take 1/2 of the strawberries and put them in the blender with the sugar. Blend until smooth.
2. Move these to a saucepan and simmer until you achieve a nice glaze consistency and the strawberry puree is soft. Let cool to warm or room temperature.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the rest of the strawberries with the blackberries, and fold in the glaze (after it cools).
4. Pour into your prepared, pre-baked pie crust. Refrigerate until cold.
5. Before serving, top the outer edge of the pie with the whipped cream so you can still see the red/blue interior (or if you wish pipe out lines of whipped cream so you get a flag-like appearance.)
Tip: To make this Fourth of July dessert recipe look even more festive for the 4th, save some of your fruit to arrange on top for a festive look!
Stop by the exhibit soon to see our fruits and have an exciting and educational experience.
Have a fun and safe holiday.
