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

Whip cream when soft peaks start to form slowly pour the sugar in whipping all along
