Vintage pie plates are really fun inexpensive collectables. I pick them up here or there at thrift stores, rummage sales or yard sales for only a dollar or two.
Not only are these ceramic pie plates cute, what makes them really fun is that the pie recipe is already printed on them as part of the design!
And I don’t know about your family, but mine
absolutely love any kind of pie especially fruity summer pies, so today I’m
sharing a few additional recipes that we love.
Martha Stewart’s Strawberry Icebox Pie
Ingredients
10 graham
crackers (2 1/2 by 5 inches)
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons
unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup
unsweetened cranberry juice
2 quarts
strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (a few whole berries reserved for
garnish)
1/4 cup
cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1/2 cup heavy
cream
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend
graham crackers with 2 tablespoons sugar until finely ground; add butter and
pulse until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and up the side
of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar,
cranberry juice, 2 cups strawberries, cornstarch, and salt. Using a potato
masher, gently mash strawberries. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook,
stirring frequently, until very thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let
cool slightly. Stir in remaining strawberries. Pour into cooled pie crust.
Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
3. In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Sprinkle 2
tablespoons sugar over cream and continue to beat until soft peaks return (do
not overbeat). Spread whipped cream over pie, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border
around edge. Garnish with whole berries.
