How to Make Strawberry Glaze Pie
- Hull and slice 3 cups of fresh strawberries. Add 1/2 cup powdered sugar and gently toss. Let stand for 1 hour to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
- Crush the remaining 1 cup of fresh strawberries.
- In a saucepan, combine the crushed strawberries with 1/4 cup of water. Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
- Strain the cooked strawberries through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids. (Note: Aim for minimal liquid; about 1/4 cup is ideal. Adjust water accordingly if needed.)
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually whisk the cornstarch mixture into the strained strawberry juice.
- Cook the juice mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it becomes clear and thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in a few drops of red food coloring (optional, for a more vibrant color).
- Fill a pre-baked pie shell with the sliced strawberries from step 1.
- Carefully pour the strawberry glaze over the berries in the pie shell.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the pie to chill and the flavors to meld. Top with whipped cream before serving.
