3 Tbl. quick tapioca
1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated orange rind
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 Tbl. butter

- Mix together dry ingredients. Add fruit and orange rind. Mix well. Pour into pie crust and dot the top with butter. Cover with top of pie crust (cut vents or make a lattice top). Bake at 400 for 35-40 minutes.

Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
1/4 cup water
1 cup shortening
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1 Tbl. vinegar

-Cut together flour, shortening and salt. Set aside. Mix water, egg and vinegar. Slowly add water mixture to flour mixture and mix with forth. Press together to form ball. Handle the least amount possible. Divide in half. Roll out. Makes a double crust.
