It's strawberry season so get out there!! (I did!) This pie recipe is a kazillion years old (almost literally, at least 130, maybe 150 near as we can count)
AND don't give me that **** that you can't cook - this doesn't really require cooking at all.
BEST EVER STRAWBERRY PIE
4 cups fresh strawberries
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbsp corn starch
1 - 9 inch pie shell (you can even go buy a frozen one and bake it if you want!) (** do I need to tell you this is a *baked* pie shell? don't use raw....)
whipped cream, or ice cream on the side
* Rinse, hull and drain strawberries. In a pot, combine 2 cups of berries with the sugar and cornstarch. Crush the berries firmly but gently (whatever! crush, crush, crush!) Stir and let simmer over low heat until thick and clear and free of cornstarch taste. (Sample them to be sure the cornstarch is cooked off or you'll be sorry!)
Cool the mixture.
Cut remaining strawberries in 1/2, 1/4s, whatever suits you, or leave whole. It doesn't matter. (I like mine thick sliced) Spread these berries in the cooked pie shell, and then spoon over the cooled strawberry/sugar mixture. Chill until firm.
Serve.
You guys will cry when you taste this. It's July in a pie shell.
I've never made it with anything other then strawberries, but this afternoon as I was making it, I got thinking, and it will work with any berry really. I'm gonna try raspberries when they are in season next.
