A long time family favorite, fresh strawberries in a delicious glaze piled onto a baked crust then topped with whipped cream, you can use a regular baked pie crust or a graham pie crust, a purchased graham cracker crust makes this easy but of coarse you may make your own crust - I have even added in strawberry extract for even more flavor in the glaze, but that is only optional - plan ahead the pie must chill for about 4 hours or until completely set before topping with the whipped cream, prep time includes chilling time. Ingredients:
7 cups sliced fresh strawberries (sliced in half or in thirds) |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 cup water |
1/3 cup strawberry gelatin (i use jell-o gelatin for this) |
1/4 cup cornstarch (measured out exactly 1/4-cup) |
3 -4 drops red food coloring (or as desired) |
1 (9 inch) pie pastry (use a deep-dish crust baked and cooled completely, or can use a prepared graham cracker crust) |
2 cups whipped cream (or to taste) |
1 cup fresh sliced strawberry, for the top (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a lage saucepan place the sugar, water, strawberry gelatin powder and cornstarch; bring to a boil and boil mixing constantly for about 1 minute.
2. Remove from heat and add in red food colouring (use as much food colouring as you wish to acheive the colour desired).
3. Fold in 7 cups sliced strawberries; toss well with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
4. Transfer to prepared crust.
5. Refrigerate for about 4 hours or until completely set.
6. Top pie with whipped cream.
7. Place more sliced strawberries on top of whipped cream if desired in a decorative fashion.
