Strawberry Pie

This is my husband's new favorite pie! The recipe will make 2 pies.

For the crust use a pastry cutter and mix:


6 cups flour
3 cups crisco

Then using a fork slowly add:

3 cups water

Shape the base for 2 pies.

For the filling mix and let sit for 15 minutes:

5 cups strawberries, sliced
1/4 cup Minute Tapioca
1 T lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
few drops Almond extract

Fill your shells and then make tops for the pies. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes.  Allow to cool.
