Fresh strawberries mounded high in a rich, buttery crust. Perfect for summer!

• Filling
• 2 c. water
• 2 c. sugar
• 6 Tbsp. cornstarch

• 3 lbs. strawberries, cleaned and de-stemmed
• If you are using a shallow pie plate, cut filling recipe in half.

Preparation

Step 1

Crust

Bake at 375 degrees for 10-15, until lightly browned.

Filling
Bring water, sugar, and cornstarch to a boil, stirring, until thick and clear.

Store in refrigerator until set; serve with whipped cream.

**I'm going to add to this recipe by pouring chocolate over the top using Wilton Candy Melts.
