Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 crust Pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 cup Whipped cream
Instructions
Wash and hull the fresh strawberries. Pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside 2 cups of whole strawberries to use as-is and slice the remaining 4 cups of strawberries in half or quarters for easier distribution in the pie.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir well to avoid lumps. Gradually whisk in the water and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract. Allow the glaze to cool for 5-10 minutes, but do not let it set completely.
Place the whole strawberries in the bottom of the pre-baked crust, arranging them in a single layer. Add the sliced strawberries on top, distributing them evenly until the crust is filled.
Pour the warm glaze evenly over the strawberries, making sure to coat all the fruit. Use a spatula to spread the glaze gently if necessary.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until the glaze is fully set.
Before serving, pipe or dollop whipped cream on top of the pie or around the edges for garnish, if desired.
