Mom's Strawberry Pie
This fresh strawberry pie features cooked filling in a pre-baked pie crust. The beautiful red color comes from the vine-ripened berries, not from food coloring!
Ingredients
- 1 quart strawberries (I use a generous quart!)
- 2 1/2 tbsp corn starch
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2/3 cup water
- 1 baked pie shell
Instructions
- Bake a single crust pie shell and cool.
- Place 10-12 whole strawberries on the bottom of the pie crust. Slice remaining berries and add to saucepan.
- Combine remaining ingredients in the saucepan with the strawberries. Cook on medium heat while stirring until thick, clear and glossy.
- Pour filling into pie shell and cool.
- Top with whipped cream when served.
