Recipe: Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients:
For the Pie Crust:
- 1 pre-baked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 packet strawberry-flavored gelatin (optional, for extra color and firmness)
For Topping (Optional):
- Whipped cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pie Crust:
- If using a homemade crust, bake it according to your recipe instructions and let it cool completely.
- Make the Strawberry Glaze:
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to dissolve the cornstarch.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear (about 5 minutes).
- Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and the strawberry-flavored gelatin (if using). Allow the glaze to cool for a few minutes.
- Assemble the Pie:
- Arrange half of the strawberries in the cooled pie crust.
- Pour half of the glaze over the strawberries, making sure all the strawberries are well-coated.
- Add the remaining strawberries and pour the rest of the glaze over them. Gently spread the glaze to ensure the strawberries are evenly covered.
- Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 3-4 hours or until the glaze is fully set.
- Serve:
- Once the pie is chilled, top each slice with a dollop of whipped cream and serve immediately.
