We went out to our local orchard on Friday and were able to purchase some fresh, plump and juicy strawberries...we just love to eat them during the summer months. I really wish we could grow strawberries all year long here in Pennsylvania as strawberries are one of our favorite berry fruits.
Here is the recipe we used a few days ago to make a delicious strawberry pie.
Strawberry Pie Recipe
1 prepared pie crust
3 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced plus 12 additional whole strawberries for garnishing
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare pie crust and bake for 15 minutes until its golden brown. Allow crust to cool before using.
In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together the strawberries, 1 cup of the granulated sugar and the cornstarch. Slowly stir in the water. Cook over medium heat, stirring for 10-12 minutes or until mixture thickens. Pour into prepared pie crust and refrigerate for 3 hours. Whip the cream with the remaining sugar. Cover the top of the pie with the whipped cream. Decorate the top with 12 whole strawberries for garnishing.
