Glazed Berry Pie (Print Version)
An eye-catching pie packed with juicy berries in a shiny homemade topping, all wrapped in a tender crust. Great during berry season.
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 ready-to-use pie crust.
02 -
About 1 and a half pounds of ripe strawberries, cleaned and split in half.
03 -
1 cup of white sugar.
04 -
3 tablespoons of cornstarch powder.
05 -
Half a cup of water.
06 -
A tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
07 -
Optional: whipped cream to add on top.
# Directions:
01 -
Spread a layer of halved strawberries inside your pie crust.
02 -
Mix the rest of the strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a pot. Gently crush them with a spoon or masher.
03 -
Put the pot on medium heat, stirring the whole time. Once it starts bubbling, keep cooking until it's thick enough (takes around 3-5 minutes).
04 -
Turn off the heat and set the mixture aside for about 5 minutes to cool down a bit.
05 -
Pour the slightly warm glaze over the strawberries in the pie crust.
06 -
Put it in the refrigerator and leave it there for a good 4 hours so it sets nicely.
07 -
Add whipped cream on top, if you want, just before digging in.
