Strawberry Pie

 Please join me for one of my favorite pies in the whole wide world...Strawberry!  

 

 This is one of my favorite teacups, which is Alpine Strawberry, by Roy Kirkham.  Isn't it a pretty design with the bees,  leaves and blossoms, and strawberries?


I've shared this recipe before, but wanted to pass it along again.  The source of this recipe was from the Columbus Dispatch, when readers would submit their favorite recipes.  I cut the recipe out, probably in the early 1970's, as a new bride.  I have made this pie and shared this recipe so many times.  I hope you try it!

My Favorite Strawberry Pie:

1 pre-baked pie shell
1 quart strawberries, cleaned & hulled & set aside

3/4 cup sugar
3 T. cornstarch
1 cup water
2 T. light corn syrup
pinch of salt
3 T. strawberry gelatin

Combine sugar & cornstarch in a heavy saucepan & stir.  Add water, corn syrup & salt.  Cook until thickened & clear in color.  Remove from heat & add gelatin, stirring well to dissolve the gelatin.    The original recipe said to add red food coloring, but I never do.  Let  cool.

Pour over the berries. I usually cut the berries in half.  Mix gently & pour into the baked pie shell.  Chill.  Top with whipped cream.

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
 

Thank you for your visit!  xo

  2. Such a pretty pie and a pretty setting. I love the strawberry plate. I'm passing this recipe on to my pie making son. He's never made a strawberry pie and I love strawberries. This will be my next request from him. Thanks for sharing the recipe and showing it in such a lovely way! You should compile these posts for a family cookbook by Kitty and make sure you include all the pictures.Have a wonderful week!

  7. Dear Kitty:
    Your pie looks so delicious I wish I had a piece right now - with those tuna yummies on Sandi's blog and tomato basil soup! Time for lunch I guess! Thanks for the recipe!!! Thanks for sharing and linking.

  8. I just made a batch (4) of pie shells day before yesterday - used two making pumpkinpie (yes I make and we eat them year-round,) and I have two left. We happen to have a quart of fresh strawberries in the fridge. Hubs is allergic to them so I haven't made one of these in years, but my oh my I do love them!

    I have blueberries too, maybe I will make little ones of each, covering them up with the extra pie dough. I have some thinking to do. Thanks for sharing your special "heirloom" recipe with us, Kitty! Hugs.

    Do have a wonderful week!

  11. Oh, Kitty, your pie looks so good! I adore strawberries and I can't wait for the season to start which is usually last of June and first of July here. Your teacup is absolutely perfect and what a lovely setting with your fountain in the background. I think I can hear the water trickling over the rocks. Thank you for sharing, my sweet friend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  15. Kitty, I adore your sweet strawberry teacup and teapot! I'm lovin' the bee detail and pretty handle silhouette on the cup and I'm certain I've seen your pretty white teapot but I don't remember it. Your pie sounds wonderful for strawberry season too. ♥

  16. I like this teacup all over again every time you bring it out for berry season Kitty. Fruit pies are my favourite...strawberry alone as you've made, or strawberry/rhubarb. Pretty darn cute tea setting when even the teapot is a strawberry!

  20. John's in for a treat. He is thinking strawberry shortcake and I'm thinking strawberry pie. Hope that a graham cracker pie crust wouldn't be too wrong.

  31. Nothing like fresh strawberry pie! I am actually kindof craving a strawberry rhubarb and was thinking of making one. I use more strawberries than rhubarb and it's pretty darn yummy! :) Love your darling teacup. Perfect for Strawberry Days! Thanks for sharing with SYC.

  32. Good Morning Kitty,
    What a pretty dessert and setting. You have a water feature too:)
    So many of my Texas friends do, and just the sound of that gurgling water cools one off during our hot spell.
    Such pretty dishes too-thank you for sharing your recipe with today, it looks and sounds so wonderful!
