Strawberry Pie Filling

It's good to add more canning recipes for pie filling to my site since "variety is the spice of life". Kelly posted a great picture of strawberry and blueberry pie filling and realized that I posted the recipe but never did a post with a picture of the strawberry pie filling.
Here it is hoping that now in July some of you have strawberries maybe left to can! Thanks Kelly for the fantastic picture!
