Ingredients
- 6 cups Fresh strawberries
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Water
- 1 piece Pre-baked pie crust (9-inch)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Rinse and hull 6 cups of fresh strawberries. Set aside 2 cups of the berries for the glaze and slice the remaining 4 cups in halves or quarters, depending on their size.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, mash the 2 cups of berries with a fork or potato masher until they are broken down. Add 3/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of water. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Cook the mashed berry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it begins to simmer, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry. Gradually add the slurry to the simmering berry mixture, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Continue cooking the glaze for another 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Let the glaze cool to room temperature.
Step 6
Arrange the sliced strawberries in the pre-baked 9-inch pie crust, spreading them evenly in a single layer.
Step 7
Pour the cooled strawberry glaze evenly over the strawberries, making sure to cover all the berries. Gently spread the glaze with a spoon or spatula if needed.
Step 8
Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the glaze to set completely.
Step 9
Slice and serve chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your Fantastic Strawberry Pie!
