Strawberry Pie

 

Please join me for one of my all time favorite pies!  My daisies and my limelight hydrangeas (thanks for the recommendation, Mary !) are from my garden.  

 

What you like this pretty Strawberry by Grafton teacup?.....

.....or would you like this Strawberry Fair by Johnson Brothers teacup?

I've been making this pie for over 50 years, since I clipped the recipe from a Columbus, Ohio newspaper.  

 

This is my row of daisies, which I started from three plants years ago.  I just keep transplanting pieces of it.  These bloom from late June through September.  Way down on the right, I have two limelight hydrangeas.  I was happy that they made it through our arctic blast back in February.  I also have my loofah plant growing, which I'll show later on in the summer.

Strawberry Pie

I've made this pie more than any other pie in my baking years. It's so tasty and it's a family favorite.

Ingredients

• 1 baked pie shell
• 1 quart strawberries, cleaned and hulled
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• pinch of salt
• 3 tablespoons strawberry gelatin

Instructions

1. Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.  Add the water, corn syrup, and the salt.  Cook, while stirring, until the mixture turns from opaque to clear.
2. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the strawberry gelatin.  Cool this mixture to room temperature.
3. Pour the syrup over the berries and mix gently.  I usually cut the berries in half, and then arrange them prettily on the top of the pie so that the cut halves are down. 
4. Pour into a baked pie shell and chill.
