Raw Strawberry Pie
Ounce for ounce, strawberries have more vitamin C than citrus fruit. They are one of the “dirty dozen” so if you want to limit your pesticide exposure, only buy organic strawberries. This recipe is from my cookbook Whole Food Goodness.
25 pitted deglet dates
1/2 cup water
6 cups sliced strawberries
Soak dates in water to soften for blending. Blend 1 cup of straw-berries, dates and water until smooth. Pour this sauce over remaining strawberries. Pour over Raw Nut Crust. Let set for 1/2 hour.
Raw Nut Crust (for one pie)
1 cup almonds or other nuts and seeds
15 soft pitted dates
1 tsp vanilla
Chop finely in food processor until it starts to stick together. Press into a pie plate or 8×8 cake pan.
