Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh strawberries
- 1 Pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 0.75 cups Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash and hull the strawberries. Slice half of them into halves or quarters, leaving the other half whole for a mix of textures and appearance.
In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, lemon juice, and salt until smooth.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and becomes slightly translucent (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated in the glaze.
Arrange the whole strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust, pointed ends facing up. Pour the glazed, sliced strawberries over the top, spreading them evenly and filling in any gaps.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2-3 hours or until fully chilled and set.
Serve slices chilled, optionally topping with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
