this was a great pie it tasted like fresh homemade jam i followed other reviews and added cornstarch it was great

this was so yummy! i substituted 1/3 cup of flour for 1/3 cup of cornstarch, i used only a pinch of cinnamon and i squeezed some fresh lemon juice into it. i also made one with splenda because my grandpa has diabetes. they were both so good and set perfectly! thank you!

There are so many reviews on this pie, and unfortunately there ae a few that are not praises. This pie, as with anything that a good cook knows, must have a little personal tweek if you are that kind of a cook, but I have been not only professionally trained, but I am a very good cook and I will tell you this basic recipe is unbelievably good and shockingly easy and above all it will bring you praise. I followed the recipe--I was busy and lazy, but it still brought me rave reviews. Sweetness is personal.....think about your berries and taste them, then decide. Think about other pies you have made and what thickener do you like the best. If it is tapioca, use it in the proportions you are used too, if it is flour use the flour, but if you want to make sure a pie is thick then add a tad more. If you make the pie and you had problems then you must realize it may not be the recipes fault, but your own for now thinking things out. This pie is excellent as it stands....the taste is sweet, it is not too thick of a mixture around the berries when finished and couple those things with a very good crust and people will shout praise. Try the milk on the crust route sprinkled with sugar and it will put the Sunday clothes on the pie.....thicken with tapioca if you want a clearer thicker, more stable pie.......and if you want that great taste and sight is secondary to taste then you are find to head on and serve your family the pie as it is written. Remember there are few simple p

Try mixing the filling and zapping it in the microwave before filling the pie crusts. Some berries are juicier than others, so you can see if you need to thicken it more before you bake it. If you're not happy with this, buy the canned stuff!

Oh wow, what a pie! This was fantastic! I could have eaten the entire pie in one sitting! I used a mix of strawberries and blueberries, so I had about 4 1/2 cups of fruit. I personaly could have used another cup of fruit, so I'll add more next time. I cut the sugar down to 1 cup and added 1/4 cup of cornstarch so the middle thickened up nicely. I also cut the cinnamon down to 1/4 tsp. Truly a delicious pie!

A little runny when I took it out of the oven, but still turned out fantastic. Reduced sugar to 1 cup and added 1/4 cup corn starch. The taste was exceptional! This pie did firm up, especially the next day. This will be a regular in our home.

As listed by another user I added cornstarch to my mixture, and I loved it. I must have made 4 of these pies, I bought a huge quantity of strawberries for next to nothing and had to use them up, so my neighbors got pies too, and they loved it too! Now everyone loves my pies!

Fantastic recipe, though I did make a few changes: I added 1/4 cup of Tapioca, and 1/2 tsp of Corn Starch to thicken. Brushed the top crust with egg and sprinkled with some sugar. Will definitely make again.

I agree that you need to modify this recipe to make it work, but with some changes it is a delicious pie. Per several suggestions here, I decreased the cinnamon to 1/4 teaspoon and added 1/4 C cornstarch. Also, depending on the sweetness of the strawberries, you might want to decrease the sugar to 3/4 or 1 C.

I don't know why everyone hasn't given this pie a 5- after following the suggestions (adding 1 tbsp of cornstarch and only 3/4 c sugar), the pie turned out fantastic. It wasn't too sweet or runny- my husband and I loved it and I'm sure to make it a keeper!

Very easy and very good. However, I cut the sugar in half.

Should have read reviews before making this one. Too sweet and it was just too runny. More like soup then pie. Not something I will try again.

I used frozen strawberries and 3 tablespoons cornstarch like another reviewer advised, but my pie was VERY runny. Taste was OK but won't be making this again.

I have been told by my husband that I better rate this pie a five. Since I do not eat sweets I have to go off my families opinion but I will say this. My father came over the other night and he had a slice of peach and strawberry pie (I had made one of each that night) as soon as he was done he asked me for seconds on the strawberry pie (saying it was awesome) so thanks for the great recipe!!!!! Will make again for sure.

Very tasty. Stuck with the recipe and it turned out great.

I was impressed with this pie. Reduced the sugar to 1 cup and added 1/4 cup cornstarch to thicken the juices up. I'd add less cinnamon-a little overpowering. Overall, very good!
