How To Cook The Most Delicious Strawberry Pie

One of my all-time favorite pies is strawberry pie. It is very simple to make if you are lucky enough to get ripe and plump strawberries. Thanks to modern supermarkets, strawberries can be obtained most of the year.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white sugar,
• 3 tablespoons corn starch,
• 1 pint strawberries,
• 1 12oz can of 7-up
• Whipped cream

Directions:

1. In a heavy bottom saucepan combine the sugar, cornstarch, 7-up until creamy. Cook the 7-up mixture over a medium to a medium high heat until the mixture becomes thick.
2. When the 7-up mixture becomes thick, cool to room temperature and add a couple drops of good quality red food coloring.
3. Wash and cut the fresh strawberries into quarters or smaller depending on how large they are. Sprinkle a teaspoon or two of sugar on the freshly cut strawberries and place them into the shell.
4. Pour the cooled 7-up mixture over the strawberries. Allow the pie to set for a few minutes. Serve with plenty of whipped cream around the edges.
