In a two-person household, making a pie is a dangerous invitation to overindulgence. It's perfectly excusable, of course, since you'd never want to waste any food and pies (or any dessert) just don't have a long shelf life (that's what I've been told). Consequently, a slice of pie has to be large enough so that the entire pie is consumed before it declines in quality. So we make do and eat mega-wedges of pie. It's a tough life, but we soldier on.
Here's a peek at the pie in question and how it all came together. And, no, I did not make the crust from scratch-it's too hot to use the oven.

2 lbs. of berries get divided--one half is sliced and
the other is turned into a jelly

This is pretty much like the recipe in my dilapidated old pie cookbook.There a baked shell is called for which I bought and then baked.They refer to it as a glazed strawberry pie.I sure know what you mean when you don't have a brood to eat the pies,it's too much for two and especially for one,unless we want to look like piggies!!!!
