Folks ’way down South eat strawberries in wholesale lots and make them
up in many tasteful ways. A favorite breakfast dish in the South is to
sprinkle hot waffles with sugar and then spread over them plenty of
freshly mashed strawberries. Another good dish is hot toast moistened
with butter and cream and then covered with mashed or cut berries.
The pie-eating members of the family will enjoy the Southern way of
making strawberry custard pie. Make your favorite recipe for custard
pie with milk, eggs, sugar and grated nutmeg, but leave out the
strawberry juice or any acid flavoring; then, just before serving, cut
some berries in half and spread them thickly over the top of the pie,
and cover with a meringue flavored with lemon juice.
