Ingredients

• 6 cups fresh strawberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.75 cup water
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 9-inch pre-baked pie crust
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the strawberries thoroughly and hull them. Slice about 4 cups of strawberries into halves or quarters, reserving 2 cups of whole or slightly larger strawberries for the topping.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and salt. Whisk until smooth and no lumps remain.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken and comes to a gentle boil. This should take about 5–7 minutes.

Step 4

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Step 5

Add the sliced strawberries to the saucepan and gently fold them into the mixture, ensuring the strawberries are evenly coated.

Step 6

Spoon the strawberry filling into the pre-baked pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the reserved whole or slightly larger strawberry pieces decoratively on top of the pie filling.

Step 8

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set before serving.

Step 9

Slice and serve chilled. Top with whipped cream if desired.
