Strawberry Pie

Strawberry Pie

Ingredients

 * 9 inch pie shell, baked
 * 3 cups Strawberries, hulled, washed and drained
 * 1 cup water
 * 3/4 cup sugar
 * 2 tablespoons cornstarch
 * 1 1/2 tablespoons butter (or as my grandmother wrote butter the size of a walnut)

Directions
Source my grandmother. I found this recipe written neatly on one of her recipe cards. I suspect the recipe came from an old Betty Crocker cookbook but can not prove it.
 * 1) Fill pie shell with 2 cups of choice berries.
 * 2) Crush remaining 1 cup of berries. Soak them with the water for 5 minutes, strain and reserve 1 cup juice.
 * 3) Combine sugar with the cornstarch; stir into berry juice and cook for 3 minutes or until thick and clear.
 * 4) Add butter. Cool slightly and pour over fruit to glaze berries in pie shell.
 * 5) Chill. 
 * 6) Garnish with whipped cream and strawberries, if desired.
