Notes
If you have extra-large strawberries, you may have to cut them into smaller pieces.
Check your strawberries if they are on the tart side, add another 1/2 cup of sugar.
I dont recommend frozen straberries for this the extra water content may make a watery pie.
For leftovers, cover well with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container in the fridge.
