Going with what’s in season

Strawberries can be found everywhere this time of year. So I decided to go with the flow. I wanted something light so I stayed away from cakes and cream. A shortcrust pastry pie was the perfect option. Instead of jello, I made fresh strawberry glaze free of artificial coloring and sweeteners. And while at it, I decided to make some pectin-free strawberry jam as well.

I reduced the sugar in both the pie and jam as the strawberries were already very sweet. I recommend adjusting sugar to taste.
