Strawberry Glazed Pie
Strawberry pie with a glazed filling, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream
Equipment
- 9-inch deep dish pie pan
- pie shield or aluminum foil ring (to prevent crust from over-browning)
Ingredients
Crust
- (1) 9-inch deep dish pie crust (use frozen, refrigerated, or your favorite homemade recipe)
Glaze
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups cold water
- (1) 3-ounce package strawberry gelatin
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, sliced (see note below for measuring strawberries)
- whipped cream for garnish
Instructions
Crust
- Place a pie shield around the crust edge to prevent over-browning. You can make one out of aluminum foil by folding a sheet of foil in half and cutting a half-circle out of the middle. Open the aluminum foil and place it on the edges of the crust. Cook the crust (according to the package instructions, usually 12-15 minutes). Cool.
Strawberry Glaze
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Whisk until well mixed. Gradually stir in the water until the mixture is smooth. Cook on medium heat (stirring constantly) until the glaze thickens and turns translucent. Remove from the heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until smooth. Let the glaze cool to room temperature.
- Fold the strawberries into the cooled glaze and pour it into the crust. Place the pie in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to chill.
- Garnish with whipped cream.
