Old Fashioned Strawberry Pie
A timeless dessert bursting with fresh strawberries and a luscious homemade glaze. Perfectly nestled in a flaky pie crust, this pie is a delightful treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust baked
- 6 cups fresh strawberries hulled and halved, divided
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup cold water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- red food coloring optional, for vibrant color
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream optional, for serving
Instructions
- Wash and hull the strawberries. Halve them and set aside 1 cup for mashing.
- Mash 1 cup of strawberries. In a saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water, salt, and mashed strawberries. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and clears. Cool for 10 minutes.
- Place the remaining 5 cups of strawberries into the baked pie crust. Pour the cooled glaze over the strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Refrigerate the pie for 1-2 hours to set the glaze.
- Slice and serve cold, optionally topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
For a fresher flavor, use freshly picked strawberries when in season. Ensure the pie crust is completely cooled before filling to avoid a soggy base.
