Vintage Strawberry Pie Recipes

Good Afternoon, y'all. Yesterday I posted a vintage 1952 A & P  advertisement  which showed a recipe for Strawberry Parfait Pie. It was hard to see the recipe so I wrote out this vintage recipe as written.

2 1/2 Tablespoons of lemon juice

Add Ann Page Preserves and lemon juice.  Fold in whipped cream. Turn into baked pie shell.  Chill until set.  Decorate with whipped cream or softened cream cheese and additional strawberry preserves if desired. 6 servings

I also wanted to share a 1963 Jello Ice Cream Pie which is similar .

Fold in 1 cup of drained sweetened , sliced fresh strawberries or 1 ( 10 ounce) drained thawed  Bird's Eye Strawberry Halves. Pour into 8 ounce crumb crust.  Chill until firm.

Happy Memorial Day

 It is supposed to rain today, but we will still enjoy a cookout with the family. 

Good morning, Sweet Friends and Happy Monday. Today is Memorial Day and I will begin my day just like everyday - that is with a drive to the cemetery to visit my sister and grandparents. It warmed my heart yesterday when I spotted a flag on my Great Uncles' graves. I scanned the cemetery and then saw other flags for the veterans who have passed. 

My great uncle who died while in service in 1943 .

 I will be saying a prayer for all of those brave men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and the freedoms that we enjoy today. 

I would also like to thank all of the men and women who  are serving or who have served in the armed forces. You are heroes!


I will be finishing Besty Ross Flag Co. into a pin pillow. Thank you , dear Joan for gifting me the chart.


Alrighty y'all,  I better fire up that grill. The youngin's will be here soon, and I am sure the will be huuuungry!  Have a wonderful day  and...

As always...

Happy quilting and stitching, ya'll

Dedicated to my dear sister, Amy. Love and miss you.  Our cookout is not the same without you! 
Dedicated to my sweet daughter who served in the military herself. You are my hero!!!

Porch Stitching, Sunday Rambles and Strawberry Pie Freebie

Is it Sunday already? By golly , it is!!! 

Welcome y'all. It is such a beautiful day so let's go out to the porch and enjoy some porch stitching.

 Be careful though Mama bird just may swoop down upon us as she is nesting on the porch column and is very protective.  

Alabama Beauty will be the quilt I am working on. I bought this quilt last year at  the Worlds' Longest Yard Sale. 

It was partly quilted so I just picked up where the original quilter left off using pink thread and quilting 1/4" around the quilt pieces. I have high hopes of finishing another row this week. 

Pretty colorful dish cloths are in the works. I have been in the mood to crochet . The only thing I know how to crochet is  simple dishcloths. Isn't the bowl of cloths pretty?

I  haven't seen one of these in a blue moon . How about you? 

A stack of fabrics waiting to be used. I do have a plan for these fabrics. 


I stitched a 2nd Strawberry Patch which was a freebie I shared earlier this month. I will make this one into a pillow. 


The blueberries are getting ripe. I wish you could see these in person. They are the size of a quarter. We have never had them this big. Yum! Yum!

On the finishing table is a new house stitch. 

The gardens are in bloom. 

How about a pretty patriotic quilt stack? 



Another Strawberry stitch is in the works.  I am always in the mood for a slice of Strawberry Pie. How about you? 


UPDATE: June 3, 2024- Strawberry Pie Stamp is FFO'd into a pin pillow.
