    Strawberry Pie


    Source of Recipe


    Wife's Collection

    List of Ingredients




    3 pounds hulled, fresh strawberries (It's about two quarts.)
    1 cup sugar
    4 TBS cornstarch
    Whipped cream to your desire (I usually whip up a pint.)

    Recipe



    Bake a deep, 9" pie shell with what ever your favorite recipe. Just make sure you brush the bottom and sides of the crust with beaten egg in the last minute of baking. Cool to room temp.

    Pick out 16 - 20 of the choicest berries and set aside.

    Mash remaining berries in a large bowl with a pastry blender until juice flows freely. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl, mix well to ensure no cornstarch clumps remain (VERY important).

    Add berries and sugar and starch mixture to a large 3-4 qt pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Simmer for 10 minutes, continuing to frequently stir (I use a spatula to get down to the bottom).

    Arrange remaining berries in pie shell, pour berry mixture over this. Cool to room temp then place in fridge; overnight works best as this gives the flavors opportunity to marry.

    Serve with plenty of whipped cream.
