White Dog Cafe






List of Ingredients



• 3 pints (6 cups) strawberries, rinsed, hulled and stemmed
  
• 1 cup sugar
  
• 3 Tbsp cornstarch
  
• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
  
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
  
• 1 pre-baked single pie crust
  
• Freshly whipped cream, for serving
  






Instructions



1. Reserve 1 pint of the best-looking strawberries.
   
   
2. Place the remaining berries in a bowl and crush with a pastry blender, potato masher, or strong wire whip. Combine the crushed berries, sugar, cornstarch, butter and lemon juice in a non-reactive saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until thick and uncloudy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
   
   
3. Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie shell. Arrange the reserved whole berries, stem side down, in concentric circles over the top of the filling. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
   
   Serve with lots of freshly whipped cream.
   
   Serves 6 to 8
