There's nothing like a slice of this pie to satisfy your craving for a fresh strawberry dessert and it looks as good as it tastes!
What You'll Need
- 1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake deep-dish pie shell, thawed
- 4 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and washed
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon red food color
What to Do
-
Bake pie shell according to package directions; allow to cool.
-
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 pint strawberries with sugar and cook over medium heat, crushing the strawberries with the back of a spoon until mixture is thickened and syrupy.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water until cornstarch is dissolved, then add to strawberry mixture. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until mixture is thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, add food color, and mix until well blended; allow to cool completely, then place in a large bowl.

Add remaining whole strawberries and mix until strawberries are well coated. Spoon into pie shell, cover loosely, and chill at least 2 hours before serving.
