Equipment

Ingredients

  • 32 ounces fresh strawberries 2 pounds
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ½ cup water room temperature
  • 1 9 inch pie crust refrigerated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Remove the pie crust and allow it to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Unroll it and place it in the pie pan, crimping the edges. Poke the bottoms and sides of the crust with a fork.
  • Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes until it is golden brown. Allow the pie crust to completely cool.
  • Wash the strawberries and cut the tops off. Cut the strawberries in half.
  • Measure out 10 ounces of strawberries and place in a food processor or blender. Blend until the strawberries are smooth.
  • In a small saucepan, add the blended strawberries and the sugar. Stir and bring the strawberries into a boil.
  • In a small bowl, make the cornstarch slurry, by whisking them together until it is smooth.
  • Gradually, whisk it into the boiling strawberries. Allow it to come back to a boil and then bring it down to a simmer for 1-2 minutes while it thickens. Remove it from the heat.
  • Line the bottom of the pie crust with the cut strawberries, flat side down. Take ½ of the filling and fill in between the strawberries.
    Layer the rest of the strawberries on top of the first layer and then cover again with the filling, making sure to get in between the strawberries.
    Brush the tops of any strawberries sticking out, with the fillings as well.
  • Allow the pie to chill and set in the refrigerator for 3 hours before serving.
