This week Rhonda Malkmus offers you a recipe that'll curl the toes within the socks within your shoes! Rhonda served her fresh strawberry pie at our health ministry training program in July, and we practically had to call in the National Guard when people started racing back for seconds and discovered that there weren't any.

Pie Shell:

1 cup raw almonds (or 1/2 cup almonds and 1/2 cup cashews)
1 cup soft, pitted dates
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Grind the nuts in a food processor until finely chopped, add the dates and vanilla, and blend well. Press thinly into a pie plate (from center to the outside rim) to form the shell.

Binder:

7 or 8 Large ripe strawberries
5 soft dates, pitted
2 bananas, fairly ripe
1 Tbs.. fresh lemon juice

Blend all ingredients in food processor or blender until well mixed.

Fruit Filling

Cut 2 pints of fresh strawberries into quarters, fold into binder and fill shell. Decorate with approximately 1/2 pint of quartered strawberries.

Cover with plastic wrap and store in refrigerator. Chill thoroughly before serving.
