List of Ingredients

crust:
1 C. All Purpose Flour
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 stick butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. shortening
1/8 C. Ice water

Filling
1 C. Sugar
3 Tbsp. Corn Starch
1 pint Strawberries
1 12 oz. can 7-UP
Whipped cream




Recipe

Crust:
Put flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter,
and shortening into the flour. Process a few seconds until the mixture
resembles a coarse meal. Drop by drop add the water, processing briefly.
The whole process should take about 20 to 30 seconds. Wrap and chill for
an hour. Remove from refrigerator, and let stand 15 minutes before
rolling. (The Martha Stewart Cookbook.) You can double this up for a top
and bottom crust.

Filling:
In a medium sized sauce pan combine sugar, cornstarch, and 7-UP until
creamy. Cook over a medium to a medium high heat until the mixture becomes
thick. When this mixture becomes thick, cool to room temperature, and add
a couple of drops of red food coloring. Wash, and cut strawberries into
quarters, or smaller depending on how large they are. Sprinkle a teaspoon
or two of sugar on the strawberries, and place them into the shell. Pour
the cooled 7-Up mixture over the strawberries. Allow this to set for a
few minutes. Serve with plenty of Whipped Cream.
