Anymore, most of the larger supermarket produce sections carry fresh strawberries nearly year round - or close to it.
The Amish use a lot of sugar and also use lots of honey, because many of the Amish farms have their own hives.
This pie is one of the best you'll ever eat if you like strawberry pie. The combination of honey and the tapioca powder as a thickening agent makes for a rave review.
This recipe is for a single crust pie.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar (omit if using the cook type sweetened tapioca pudding powder)
2/3 cup honey
1/2 cup Tapioca powder
1/2 cup water
1 pound strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
1 tablespoon butter
Assembly:
Combine sugar, honey and strawberries; let stand for a few hours, until juicy. Drain juices off; transfer to saucepan, and bring to a boil. Mix together the water, butter, and tapioca. Add to the strawberry juice mixture; continue cooking, covered, over low heat for 2 minutes.
Cool slightly and stir in strawberries. Pour into baked pie shell and chill thoroughly so as to have the pie filling thicken. Top with whipped or your favirite topping. (Ice cream is a great finish for this pie.) Keep leftovers covered and in refrigerator - that is if there is any. :-)

Is tapioca powder the same as the Minute Tapioca one uses for tapioca pudding?
No. Tapioca is typically 'beaded' and of various sizes. The powder is like a flavored flour. We get ours at an Amish store; you might want to 'google' for a distributor on the internet.
tapioca flour is tapioca powder? I can find flour at a local supermarket. Is it the same?
I really couldn't tell you if they are the same. From reading up on tapioca, the powder is sweet; I'm not sure about the flour because I've never used it.
