Strawberry Glace Pie image

This is my favorite strawberry pie; it has a fresh, light flavor. I much prefer it to those with jello or cream cheese. This is adapted from an old Farm Journal cookbook & is a family favorite. There are many recipes on Zaar that are close to this one, but no exact matches.
