130521_01

This month’s delicious Country Kitchen recipe comes from Warwick’s Glenice Price.
“I made this years ago many times while picking strawberries in Brisbane, it’s so easy to make and so yummy to eat,” she says.

Ingredients:
1 packet biscuit crumb base
1 punnet of strawberries
1/4 carton cream
1 lemon
2 teaspoons gelatine

1/2 to 3/4 tin condensed milk (use to taste)
Method:
Make up pie base as per packet directions and place in fridge to set. Clean strawberries and cut into halves and arrange on set pie base, sprinkle lightly with lemon juice.
Whip cream and when still a bit runny add gelatin, which has been dissolved in a little hot water beforehand.
Add condensed milk and rest of lemon juice.
Beat all together, pour into pie crust lined with strawberries and set in fridge. Top with strawberries and pipe whipped cream if desired.
For a change, you can also mix all the strawberries into the condensed milk mixture once mixed and pour into the pie shell.
