Mom's Fresh Strawberry Pie




Mom's Fresh Strawberry Pie

Strawberry season isn't far away. Fresh strawberries are showing up in the supermarkets and it's time to enjoy them in things like my mother's fresh strawberry pie!

1 1/2 quarts strawberries, fresh
1/2 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 1/2 T. cornstarch
1 tsp. margarine, vegan
1 baked pie shell (gluten free if necessary)
red food coloring if desired

Crush 1/2 quart of berries. Blend with sugar, cornstarch, and water. Heat to a boil (2 min). Add margarine and food coloring. Fill pastry shell with chilled berries. Pour glaze over berries. Chill. Serve with whipped topping of choice.
