Equipment

  • Oven
  • Stovetop
  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ½ C Fresh Strawberries
  • 1 ¼ C Sugar (Use a little more if berries are tart)
  • 5 Tbsp Cornstarch
  • 2 ½ Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Unbaked Pie Crust
  • ½ C Whipping Cream (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Wash strawberries and hull (removing the green tops and core). Chop ¼ of the berries (2 ½ cups) into small pieces or process in food processor.
  • Place chopped berries into a sauce pan and begin to cook over medium heat. Mix sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl; add to pan with crushed berries. Add lemon juice and cook on low heat fro about 10 minutes or until very thick. Remove from heat.
  • Cut remaining strawberries into halves and mix with the cooked mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 425°. Place pie crust into 9" or 10" pie plate. Flute edges. Prick with fork all over, about 40 times. Place piece of foil inside pie crust, lightly pressing around inside bottom edges of crust. Fill with dried beans. (The beans allow the pie crust to remain its shape.)
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and remove beans and foil. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
  • Pour strawberry mixture into baked pie shell. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours, or until pie is set. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
