These pies were a spring special at a restaurant where I used to work. Whoever was the cook that day had to bake them first thing in the morning and again in the afternoon, as soon as strawberries were ready. —Caroline Park, Pritchard, British Columbia

A little fifth grade arithmetic will cut this recipe down to managable size. Cutting down to 2 pies is easier--just divide by 3. If you really want to cut it down to 1 pie divide everything by 6. If you do this, you will need to measure 1 box of jello and use only half of it.

Why is the recipe for 48 servings? Can't you just give the one-pie recipe?

Can't believe calcutors are so hard to find. This recipe is extremely easy to cut down to two pies even in your head because all of the amounts are easily divisible by 3.

could I make a trifle with this using angel food or pound cake?

I have always made the pie without the pudding filling, but will definitely have to try this one. I too can't believe that people are unable to divide a recipe to fit their needs. I wonder what they would do if a recipe needed to be doubled?

Thank you so much for the reduction. I'm looking foward to trying this recipe.

I can hardly wait to try this pie. I am amazed, however, that people do not know how to divide the ingredient amounts to make one pie!

I have made this pie for years without the pudding bottom. It is great with just the strawberries. Deb
