Strawberry Pie

Description

Source my grandma. 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.

• Grandma

Ingredients

• 9 inch pie shell, baked
• 3 cups strawberries, hulled, washed and drained
• 1 cup water

1. Fill pie shell with 2 cups of choice berries.
2. Crush remaining 1 cup of berries.

6. Cool slightly and pour over fruit to glaze berries in pie shell.
7. Chill.
