Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust baked and cooled
  • 6 cups strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 3/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • whipped cream or ice cream for topping

Instructions

  • Take 1 cup of the strawberries and lightly crush them. Add them to a pot with the water and bring to a boil.
  • Boil for 3 minutes and then remove the berries. Leave the juice in the pot. Whisk in sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Simmer over medium high heat until the mixture thickens.
  • Remove from heat cool in the fridge until glaze is thickened, about two hours.
  • Add the rest of the sliced berries to a large bowl. Pour the cooled glaze over the top and mix until all the berries are coated. Pour the filling into the pie crust.
  • Refrigerate until the filling is set, about two hours.
  • Top with whipped cream or ice cream and serve.
