1970'S FRENCH STRAWBERRY PIE

1970's French Strawberry Pie image

My mom used to make this for our family back in '72. I totally loved it then as I do now! Very quick and easy to make. My mom used to make homemade crust but I always have trouble with mine and I recently found Keebler® ready made shortbread pie crusts!
