The only recipe I ever asked my mom for! Her name was Helen, 1914-1995
Glazed Strawberry Pie
Prepare one 9 inch pre-baked pie shell. Make filling as follows:
4 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup water
3/4 to 1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon butter or margarine
Wash and stem berries. Crush one cup of berries in saucepan, add water and cook 3 minutes. Strain. To make glaze, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt and add to strained juice. Cook slowly until thick and clear, stirring constantly. Add butter and cool slightly. Fill pie shell with remaining 3 cups of strawberries. Spoon glaze over top, coating thoroughly. Chill before serving.
