How to make Strawberry Pie

Things You'll Need

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 lb strawberries, washed and sliced
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 pre-baked pie shell
• Whipped cream

Step One

Combine strawberries and sugar in a medium size mixing bowl and let it sit for a few hours until juicy.

Step Two

Drain off juices into a saucepan after several hours. At this point, the strawberries and the juices are separate.

Step Three

Bring the strawberry juice to a boil by placing over a medium-high flame.

Step Four

Add the other ingredients. Stir in the water, butter and cornstarch to your saucepan on the stove. Reduce the flame to medium-low heat.

Step Five

Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes after covering the sauce pan.

Step Six

Stir in the previously separated strawberries when your sauce has cooled slightly.

Step Seven

Place in a pre-baked pie shell. You may use a pre-baked pie shell available in your grocers freezer, or even a graham cracker pie shell, which is also available at your local supermarket, or of course bake your own. Place the strawberry mixture into the pie shell, cover with whipped cream, place in the fridge and serve cold.
