Anna Olson's Fresh Strawberry Hibiscus Pie
Posted by Donna-Marie Pye on
This fruit pie is all about fresh, ripe strawberries. Here they are paired with floral and tart hibiscus and topped with Chantilly cream. The acidity of the hibiscus complements the berries’ sweetness, and this is now a new summer classic for me.
