PCLinuxOS Recipe Extra: Homemade Strawberry Pie

by Ramchu

You will need:

1 - 9 inch pie pan (22.9cm)
1 - 9 inch pie crust (store bought or make your own)
7 - cups strawberries (1.7L)
1 1/4- cup sugar (250g)
3 - Tbsp. corn starch (44g)
3/4 - cup cold water (177ml)
Whipped topping

Directions

Place the pie crust in the pie pan and bake at 400 F (204 C) for 20 minutes or until golden brown, remove from the oven and let cool.

Take 3 cups (711ml) of strawberries, place in a bowl and mash (I use an old style potato masher), add the sugar and stir, place mixture in a cooking pan/pot, and cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

Mix 3 Tbsp. (44g) corn starch with 3/4 cup (177ml) cold water, stir well to mix and slowly add to strawberry mixture stirring constantly until it thickens and becomes translucent.

Gently fold the remaining 4 cups (948ml) of strawberries into the thickened strawberry mixture until they are coated.

Pour the strawberry mixture into the pre-baked pie crust and refrigerate for several hours.

Serve topped with a large spoonful of whipped topping.
