OLD-FASHIONED STRAWBERRY PIE

Gammaldags jordgubbspaj

This pie is excellent because you can use either fresh or frozen berries, so
you can enjoy it all the year round! I prefer fresh berries of course, but
it's almost just as good with frozen ones. :-D

List of Ingredients




Pie crust:
1 cup flour
3 tbs sugar
3 1/2 oz butter or margarine
2 tbs water

Filling:
4 cups fresh strawberries
or 14 oz frozen, thawed berries
scant 1/4 - good 3/4 cup sugar
good 1/3 cup water
1 1/2 - 2 tbs cornstarch



Recipe



Mix flour and sugar. Cut fat in pieces and chop it together with the flour
to a crumbly mixture. Add water and quickly work the dough together. Press
it out in a pie pan, diameter 9 - 10", and bake in the middle of the oven at
400 - 425F for 15 - 20 minutes.

Trim the strawberries and cut them in pieces. Mash half of the berries and
put them in a saucepan. Mix in sugar, water and cornstarch and let boil for
a few minutes. Allow to cool slightly. Put remaining strawberries in the pie
crust and pour the strawberry compote on top. Serve with whipped cream or
ice cream. Enjoy!
