This is one of my most favourites. I have been making it forever but at little different. I don't mash any berries. Just heap them all in the shell and add a package of strawberry jello to the sugar, cornstarch, water mix after it has thickened. I also make this same pie but with peaches and peach jello.

This recipe was fantastic! I had never made glaze from scratch before, always buying the packages from the grocery store. This recipe was easy to follow, and delicious! I had fresh-picked strawberries that had to get used up, or they were going to go soggy on me, and the grocery store was closed, so I looked for a "from scrath" recipe, and came across this one! Will definitely use it again, and pass this recipe on to my mom!

I made this for a BBQ and everyone ended up eating dessert first and they have been asking for another one.

Very yummy, not too sweet.

I found this and made 2 yesterday there are a few pieces of the 2nd left....I did the choc on the crust and cooked the glaze 10 or 11 min and it was set in 2 hours ...will make it over and over.....LOVE IT

I thought this was a great recipe. I used fresh strawberries that we went to pick ourselves. It wasnt to sweet it was just right. My husband said he didnt care for it as much as the recipes that use jello (but that was after he had already devoured 3 pieces). I did make 2 pies one that I brused the bottom with chocolate as another review suggested and I dont think I'll be doing that again, it just took away from the natural fresh and clean taste of the pie.

Mine didn't set wonderfully either. I did brush the crust with chocolate, which was so wise! Thank you to that reviewer! With it not setting as solidly as I would have liked, the chocolate at least prevented a soggy crust and everyone enjoyed that. The next time I make it I think I might try freezing the finished pie and take it out to thaw slightly before serving.

Awesome!! I cut down slightly on the sugar and water, and the pie was absolutely perfect. Took it along with the homemade whipped cream to a family picnic and received rave reviews! Thanks for a terrific recipe!

Wow! This pie was fantastic! I made a few minor changes based on other's reviews. The recipe called for 4 cups (1 quart) of strawberries. I placed 3 cups (instead of 2 cups) of strawberries in the pie shell, and mashed the other 1 cup. I decreased the water to 1/2 cup, and decreased the sugar to 2/3 cup. (The sugar should be adjusted to the sweetness of the berries. The berries I used were fairly tart, and even 2/3 cup sugar was a little on the sweet side). I kept the cornstarch at 3 tbsp and cooked the mashed strawberry mixture for about 4 minutes until the cornstarchy "taste and look" disappeared. The color was a lovely rose-red. It was completely set up in the fridge within 2 hours, and 6 servings were devoured within 5 minutes. My family loved it! Definitely a keeper!

I just made this pie for a family get-together and I received the highest compliments :) The ONLY thing I would change is perhaps cut the sugar back by 1/2 cup? It was a little on the sweet side...but it still was amazing! I topped it with whipped cream around the edges and drizzled melted chocolate! Mmmm mmm!

We did the chocolate on the pie crust and it was a big hit!

A keeper. Did as others suggested and brushed the baked pie shell with melted chocolate. Made with farm fresh strawberries. yummmm

Very good!!! Very Easy!!! I did use less sugar then the recipe called for. Next time I will use more strawberries.

I couldn't keep my kids from licking their plates...I wanted to lick my plate! I never need another recipe - Thank you. I second the suggestions to use fresh berries from the farm and adding a little butter for thickness.

Made this last night and it came out perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I brushed the crust with chocolate as another reviewer suggested. The chocolate added a nice richness and kept the crust from getting soggy. My whole family loved this, and my son said it was the best pie he'd had in his whole life--and the kid has had a lot of pie!

This pie was really good and easy to make. I took the suggestion of adding less sugar depending on how sweet the berries were. It came out perfect. I will be making this again. Also, it is healthier then most other pies.
