50 Recipes: Strawberry Pie

6/50

This post is about a month late... but what can I say...
For Valentine's Day I made the Mr. a strawberry pie. I was writing a blog post about cream cheese pie crust over at Little House Living, and thought a strawberry pie fit in perfectly with such a romantic holiday. Don't you think?

I searched on search online for the perfect recipe to try, and ended up mixing a few recipes together, and I quite like how it turned out.

Ingredients:

• 1 pie crust, baked 
• 1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 Tbsp corn starch
• 3/4 cup water
• whipped cream

Steps:

• line the baked pie crust with 1/2 of the strawberries
• in a saucepan, combine the other half of the strawberries with the sugar and boil on medium heat
• in a small bowl, whisk together water and cornstarch, and gradually pour into saucepan and mix with strawberry mixture
• reduce heat, stir constantly until mixture thickens
• pour the mixture over the berries in the pie crust
• refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
• cover with whipped cream (or add dollops as desired)
• & enjoy!
