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.
