Strawberry Glaze Pie
This Strawberry Glaze Pie has piles of fresh strawberries all encased with a homemade glaze. It’s time for picnics, barbecues and family reunions. So why not be the “popular” guest! Bring this pie and you will be! You can NEVER go wrong bringing this Strawberry Glaze Pie.
I probably make this pie once every two weeks during strawberry season. I know that when my family spots the first batch of fresh strawberries at the grocery store I will be making a pie that week. Make sure to use my Perfect Every Time 10 Minutes Pie Crust.

I love strawberry pies, especially in the summer! I like how you made your own glaze. I do want to try this. I’m not a big fan of the strawberry glaze that you buy in the produce section – it’s a little strong for my tastes. This looks like it would taste a lot better. Thanks for joining the party on A Well-Seasoned Life’s Sweet Indulgences Sunday!
Oh, your pie looks delicious! Fun stopping by to meet you!

Looks delicious! I’m wondering if you cool the glaze after cooking it, or if it goes on the pie warm?
Hi Alana,
It needs to go on while its warm. If you cool it the glaze would be too thick. You want it to be runny so it can fill all the nooks and crannies. 🙂
