That's right, Strawberry Pie! I decided to go a different route today, not wanting to go through the normal hassle of my Strawberry Apple Pie, plus, I didn't want to run my oven for very long (its 108 degrees in Texas), so I decided to make a fresh pie that only required me to pre-bake a pie crust. So here's the recipe I came up with after reading and not liking a few of them:
Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
1 quart fresh strawberries
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons flour
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Quarter and arrange about three-fourths of the strawberries in baked pastry shell. Puree (food processor or blender) remaining berries with sugar, water, flour, and vanilla, then pour into saucepan. Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Allow to boil about two or three minutes, until thickened. Carefully pour mixture over berries in pastry shell, and toss berries lightly with spoon to coat. Chill for at least an hour before serving.
Top with whipped cream if desired. Happy Baking!
