Admiral Perkin's Pie

(from Stearns Farm Newsletter, June 23 2008)

I have no idea who Admiral Perkins was, but he sure knew his pie. Adapted from Bentley Farm Cookbook by Virginia Williams Bentley and described simply, "for the height of the strawberry season", perfectly ripe berries are the key here.

1 pre-baked pie shell

Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and thoroughly dried

1 jar (about 10 oz) red currant jelly

1/2 pint plain heavy cream, whipped

Use whole berries of about the same size if possible. Cut very large berries in half. Arrange berries carefully in the pie shell in "one snug layer." Bring jelly to room temperature and stire to make it easy to spread. Lather berries with jelly and put pie in the refrigerator for at least several hours, preferably much longer. Just before serving time, whip cream and spread it thickly on top of the pie.
