Meme’S Fresh Strawberry Pie

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400u00b0F.

2. 2

   Place pie crust in the pie plate and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. You want it to turn a nice golden brown.

3. 3

   While the crust bakes, slice 1/3 of the strawberries into chunks. Place the strawberries, water and sugar in a medium sauce pan. Heat on medium high, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes or until mixture bubbles. Use a fork or potato masher to smash the berries.

4. 4

   Mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Pour the cornstarch mixture into the sauce pan with the strawberries and combine. Reduce the heat and simmer until the mixture reduces slightly and thickens. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon and combine, remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

5. 5

   Cut the remaining strawberries into thirds and arrange them in the baked pie shell. Take the cooled filling and pour it into the pie crust over all over the berries.

6. 6

   Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours. Once the pie is set, cut into slices and serve with whipped cream.
