Strawberry Jam Pie

80 minutes
Strawberry jam pie is a delicate and aromatic treat from Russian cuisine. Its roots trace back to traditional village recipes where jam served not only as a sweet addition but also as a way to preserve berries for long winter months. This pie is infused with the sweetness of strawberries, and the dough is soft, airy, and slightly moist due to milk and butter. The special texture is achieved through the combination of jam and baking soda, creating lightness in every bite. Perfect for a cozy tea time with family, it highlights the simplicity and warmth of Russian baking. It can be served with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or sour cream. This pie is not only delicious but also carries the warmth of home traditions.
