Fresh Strawberry Pie

Ever since I was little I would go to the strawberry felids and pick strawberries with my mom. This year I was working so my mom picked these strawberries for me. But with these fresh strawberries I decided to make a pie. This pie is a easy pie to make that keeps the fresh flavor of the strawberries since the strawberries aren't cooked (except for the jam part). I hope you enjoy this delicious fresh pie as much as I do!

Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 sticks of unsalted butter (cubed)
1/2 cup ice water

Filling:
6 cups strawberries
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons corn starch
3 tablespoons lemon juice

Strawberry field

Fresh Strawberries

Ingredients that will be used in this recipe

First put the flour, cubed butter, and salt into the food processor and pulse.

While pulsing the mixture slowly add the ice water and pulse until the mixture resembles crumbs. Then mix the crumbs together by hand until it looks like dough.

Dough as a disk

Make the dough into a disk and put into the refrigerator until cool, about an hour. Then put the dough into a pie dish and mold it to the dish, and put into the freezer until needed. Pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Then in a pot add 1/2 of the strawberries, sugar, corn starch, and lemon juice and cook until the mixture is almost like a sauce (about 5 minutes).

Then put the mixture into a bowl and put into the refrigerator to cool for about 30 minutes. Then put parchment paper over the shell and add beans of pie weights into the shell and cook for 20 minutes.

Then take the pie weights and the parchment paper out and cook for another 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Then let the pie shell cool for 30 minutes and then add the rest of the strawberries into the pie shell and cover the top with the strawberry jam.

Top with whipped cream if desired and enjoy!
