    Amish Sour Cream Strawberry Bars

    Published: Apr 15, 2016 · Updated: Apr 15, 2016 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    We had a can of strawberry pie filling in our pantry, so my 2 1 /2 year old daughter, Aster, and I decided to put it to work in an Amish recipe.  Yes, most Amish homemakers would use their own home-canned pie filling, but we didn't have that available, so we settled for the store-bought. Strawberries will be in season here soon so this seemed like the perfect time of year to give this a try.  This is a very simple recipe.  My only "complaint" is it did not make enough. This recipe makes an 8 X 8 a pan full, but the time I gave some away to my parents, Rachel's co-workers, etc there were barely any left for us.  That said, not a bad thing considering I'm really trying to watch what I eat. But if you are feeding a crowd you might want to double this recipe so you can do a 9 X 13 pan.  An 8 X 8 pan would still give you enough to get a good 20 bars, but if you have people like me in the crowd that could put away 3 - 4, you might want more!   This recipe comes to us from an Amish woman in Partridge, Kansas's Amish community.  Give it a try, this one is definitely a keeper!

      I just bought a can of raspberry pie filling, so I think I'll try it with that.
      Sounds and looks delicious!
