STRAWBERRY PIE (YUMMY)


I REALLY NEED TO TRY THIS ONE!



INGREDIENTS
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
1 quart fresh strawberries
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream




DIRECTIONS
Arrange half of strawberries in baked pastry shell. Mash remaining berries and combine with sugar in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture over berries in pastry shell. Chill for several hours before serving. In a small bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Serve each slice of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.

  2. Does your mom have any idea how lucky she is to have a daughter who likes to cook and who willingly shares in the responsibility of cooking for the family? Probably, but if not have her talk to me and I'll set her straight.
