Strawberry pie

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze strawberry pie, ensure it is completely cooled. Wrap the entire pie tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil, or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. While freezing preserves the pie, the crust may lose some crispness, and the fruit filling might become slightly softer upon thawing.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the crust or filling.
• A sour or fermented smell emanating from the pie.
• Mushy or overly watery filling, indicating the fruit has broken down excessively.
