Do I Have to Use this Dough Recipe? No. You will need enough dough that is equivalent to two 9 inch pie crusts. You can use you favorite homemade recipe or a store bought crust. Whatever works best for you!
Can I Use Frozen Strawberries? Yes. Just be sure they are not whole. You will need to cut up the strawberries, so, if using whole frozen strawberries, just let them defrost slightly and give them a chop.
Do I Have to Use Strawberries? Of course not! These pies will work for any type of berry.

A few notes:
For this dough recipe, you will need to let it sit in the fridge for one hour. Don’t forget!
When making the filling, keep a close eye on the saucepan. It should only take about 5-8 minutes, but, it will burn quickly. You will also want it to come to room temperature before adding to the pies.
