Every year when spring comes I start watching and looking and waiting for STRAWBERRIES!! The thing is the strawberries in the store are not what I am looking for. Neither are the strawberries that are on the corner being sold in printed boxes. I am waiting for the ones that are in the shack type stands where the patch is right behind where you buy them, in the cardboard boxes with green baskets. Oh, those are the ones I am talking about. They are HUGE and SSSOOOO red and ripe. They are so delicious. And so when the strawberries come that means Home Made Strawberry Pie.
Here's what you need
1 Deep dish premade Pie Crust
4 baskets of strawberries (you probably will only 3 but the 4th is good for taste testing LOL)
1 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
4 tbsp Cornstarch
Cook pie crust according to package directions for a crisp crust 10-15 min then cool. While that is baking prepare strawberries. 1 cup mashed strawberries and then fill pie crust with bite size pieces just level. Cook mashed strawberries and water in small pot for 2 min. Mix cornstarch and sugar well add to pot. Mix and dissolve sugar. Continue mixing until it thickens to a jelly state. It will start turning darker and jelling around the pot. When it doesn't run pour over pie. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
My mom made this pie every summer while growing up and it is so yummy. Ben loves when he sees it in the refrigerator.
