Strawberry Pie

It's strawberry season once again. Why not enjoy those strawberries any way you can. They are great to eat fresh, in jellies, with shortcake and especially in a Strawberry pie. Make a strawberry pie this season and see what I'm talking about.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

1 1/3 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
2 Tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
5 tablespoons butter melted
8 Cups strawberries
2 Tablespoons water
2/3 Cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
1 Tablespoons lemon juice
Whipped cream (optional)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Step 2

Combine wafer crumbs, sugar, 1/2 tsp of the vanilla and butter. Press into a 9 inch pie dish. Bake 10 minutes or until beginning to brown. Take it out of oven and let it cool.
Step 3

Slice 2 cups of the strawberries and combine with 2 tbs water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Mash the berries as they are cooking. Cook 2 minutes after boiling or until strawberries are very juicy.
** If you want it really smooth you can put through a sieve. Make sure you have 1 cup of mashed berries after cooking. If not add a bit of water.
Step 4

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a pan. Gradually add in strawberry juice and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Boil 1 minute or until translucent. Remove from heat and stir in remaining vanilla.
Step 5

Place 1/3 of remaining berries in pie shell, drizzle with 1/3 of the glaze. Repeat two more times. Chill 2 hours or until completely set. Serve cold with whipped cream on top for extra pleasure.
