"This recipe came from The Baker Upstairs. Sounds simple and delish. Just a wee note here...do not let the prepared strawberries sit in the sugar/cornstarch mixture too long or the berries will release its juices making the crust mushy. I would do the strawberries just before putting it on the crust and right into the oven. I also think that a mixture of fresh strawberries and rhubarb would be a wonderful combo. Guesstimate on the servings."
