   Hi Lorraine, I’ve done a lot of thinking about this pie. From the coemtnms, everyone loves the flavor of this pie. Clearly, it’s a little slippery and doesn’t hang together perfectly. First the pie in the USA Weekend photo is not our pie. With tight budgets these days, magazines and newspapers often use stock photos with their articles. If you look at the USA Weekend photo, ou’ll notice that there are no halved strawberries on top as with our pie. And I’ve started to think that the halved strawberries are, in fact, part of the problem. When brushed with the diluted glaze they make the pie look beautiful but they also make the pie a little top-heavy and difficult to slice. Since they’re brushed with light glaze rather than folded into a thick glaze, I think they start to give off moisture which results in a pie that doesn’t slice so well. I know when I fold the glazed sliced strawberries into the pie shell, they’re definitely firm enough to get a clean slice. I just think the weight and weeping of the halved strawberries is part of the problem. I don’t know about you all, but I’d prefer a pie that’s a little messy than one that’s the texture of jello. Although I’m not going to pull this pie from the site, I think I’m putting it to rest for now. Come next spring, I might take it on again as a project. For starters, I’d probably slice up all of those halved strawberries and fold them with the rest not as pretty, but I think you’ll get a clean cut. With all the extra strawberries getting folded in, you might need a little more glaze, but maybe not.
