Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie

I made this yesterday, and it was really good.

Using strawberry preserves instead of jello ads a real strawberry flavor to the filling. This was so easy.

.

1 lb (3 1/2 to 4 cups) (450 g) fresh strawberries, washed, stem removed

1 1/4 cups (300 g) water

3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar

1/3 cup (115 g) strawberry preserves

1/4 cup (35 g) cornstarch

1 Tbsp (15 g) lemon juice (bottled ok)

8-inch (20 cm) pre-baked pasry pie shell

Whipped cream topping

.

.

Pre-bake an 8-inch (20 cm) pastry pie shell.

Wash fresh strawberries, remove stems, cut strawberries into quarters.

Placed cleaned, cut strawberries in pre-baked pie shell, level out strawberries.

.

In a saucepan, add the water, sugar, strawberry preserves, cornstarch and lemon juice.

Mix well and simmer, while stirring constantly for 3 or 4 minutes, until thickened.

Pour hot, thickened filling over fresh strawberries.

Gently press and mix the filling around the fresh strawberries with a rubber spatula.

Level off top of filling and strawberries.

Chill in fridge before serving.
