Fresh Strawberry Pie

To experience the full flavor of fresh berries, use the sweetest, ripest strawberries you can find and serve the pie within four hours of preparing it. If your strawberries are less than perfectly sweet, you may want to add a bit of sweetener to the blended filling mixture. The optional psyllium is available at health food stores and is used to help the pie filling hold together. Instead of a date-nut crust, you may substitute a graham or cookie-crumb crust, or a regular prebaked pie shell.
