Fresh Strawberry Pie, Glaze & Whipped Cream
FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE
Ingredients
3 Tbsp. cornstarch or 4 Tbsp. flour
3 Tbsp. strawberry Jell-O
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 quart fresh strawberries
few drops red food coloring
Baked cooled pie shell
STRAWBERRY GLAZE
Instructions
Combine cornstarch, Jell-O and sugar in saucepan
Add water and cook over medium heat stirring frequently to prevent sticking and lumping until thickened. I use a whisk and wooden spoon to stir. It works nicely and makes for a smooth glaze.
*Tip* The glaze when thickened will coat the whisk and spoon and stay there without pouring off...*
Cool glaze thoroughly it will thicken more when cooled.
While GLAZE is cooling
Make and Bake your pie shell
Wash and stem your strawberries I sliced mine in half, you can slice in quarters if you wish or leave them whole (your choice)
Fold glaze into your strawberries
Place in baked pie shell
Chill
Serve with fresh whipped cream for a delicious desert.

1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. clear Vanilla
