Mom's Strawberry Pie
From

Credit for this Strawberry Pie recipe goes to my Mom, Kathi
Cantolupo. My mom always made Strawberry Pie
with huge servings of whipped cream available and served it right out of the
fridge during the hot summer months. Still does to this day.
Mom's Strawberry Pie
~3 pounds
hulled, fresh strawberries (It's about two quarts.)
- 1 cup
sugar
- 4 TBS
cornstarch
- Whipped
cream to your desire (I usually whip up a pint.)
Bake a deep,
9" pie shell with what ever your favorite recipe. Just make sure you brush the
bottom and sides of the crust with beaten egg in the last minute of baking.
Cool to room temp.
Pick out 16
- 20 of the choicest berries and set aside.
Mash
remaining berries in a large bowl with a pastry blender until juice flows
freely. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a separate bowl, mix well to ensure no
cornstarch clumps remain (VERY important).
Add berries
and sugar and starch mixture to a large 3-4 qt pot and bring to a boil, stirring
frequently. Simmer for 10 minutes, continuing to frequently stir (I use a
spatula to get down to the bottom).
Arrange
remaining berries in pie shell, pour berry mixture over this. Cool to room temp
then place in fridge; overnight works best as this gives the flavors opportunity
to marry.
Serve with plenty of
whipped cream. Enjoy!
