Fresh Strawberry Pie, Glaze and Whipped Cream



FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE
Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. cornstarch or 4 Tbsp. flour
  • 3 Tbsp. strawberry Jell-O
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries
  • few drops red food coloring
  • Baked cooled pie shell


STRAWBERRY GLAZE



Instructions 
 
Combine cornstarch, Jell-O and sugar in saucepan
Add water and cook over medium heat stirring frequently to prevent sticking and lumping until thickened.  I use a whisk and wooden spoon to stir.  It works nicely and makes for a smooth glaze.

 *Tip*  The glaze when thickened will coat the whisk and spoon and stay there without pouring off...*

 Cool glaze thoroughly it will thicken more when cooled. While the glaze is cooling:

Make and Bake your pie shell

 Wash and stem your strawberries I sliced mine in half, you can slice in quarters if you wish or leave them whole (your choice)

 Fold glaze into your strawberries

 Place in baked pie shell

 Chill
Serve with fresh whipped cream for a delicious desert.




Whipped Cream
1 Pint Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 cup Sugar
1 tsp. clear Vanilla
Whip cream when soft peaks start to form slowly pour the sugar in whipping all along
Add the vanilla
Whip to desired stiffness but don't go too far you'll have butter..

Enjoy!
