Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups fresh strawberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.75 cup water
- 0.125 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
- 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them. Slice about 4 cups of strawberries into halves or quarters, reserving 2 cups of whole or slightly larger strawberries for the topping.
In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and salt. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Add the sliced strawberries to the saucepan and gently fold them into the mixture, ensuring the strawberries are evenly coated.
Spoon the strawberry filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
Arrange the reserved whole or slightly larger strawberry pieces decoratively on top of the pie filling.
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Slice and serve chilled. Top with whipped cream if desired.
