Pineapple Strawberry Pie

My sister asked for a pie for her birthday. She gave me my Farm Journal pie book for Xmas last year, and wanted to pick a pie from it. We had actually been fighting beforehand. A decade and a country are between us and sometimes the differences turn acid.

Strangely, it made it hard to make a pie when I was mad. But I pushed through. The idea of strawberry and pineapple, and cooked strawberry, didn't sound appealing. But then it wasn't my pie. So I made it anyway.

Strawberry Pineapple Pie with my mods, from Farm Journal's

• Double Crust
• 1 c sugar
• 4 T cornstarch
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 c strawberry
• 2 c pineapple
• 2 T butter

Combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Stir in strawberries and pineapple. Put in bottom crust, dot with butter. Put on the top crust, I did lattice. Bake at 400 50 minutes.

It actually was pretty good. Not too sweet; it didn't need ice cream. It was more like a tart. And, I have moved back to all butter crusts. After a number of crusts using shortening, I just decided butter was better.
