Strawberry Pie

Caryn's Note:

This is my most favorite pie recipe. We used to pick strawberries in Florida when I was a kid then come home and make at least 2 strawberry pies (which didn't last long needless to say).It is very light with lots of strawberries!

3. Cool.
4. Place slice strawberries into pie shell.

This recipe caught my eye because you use 7up, which is my favorite soda. It was easy to make and very good. Will definitely make again. I did make one change, I used a graham cracker crust.

Not a traditional strawberry pie but still good in its own respect. Very Sweet! Definately a make ahead pie though the prep time doesn't show how long to refrigerate. It was very runny until the next morning. More like a jellow mold in a pie shell.
