I topped this with whipping cream and it was a wonderful Strawberry Pie. The only thing I did different was add a dash of salt and a little lemon juice to brighten the flavor as I do with lots of dishes I prepare. Before making this I had read some other recipes and there were comments that they did not make enough filling for 2 pies, so naturally I wondered if I would have enough. Let me assure you that if using bought 9" Deep Dish Pie Crusts (I used Pet Ritz)you will have plenty of filling. My two pies were filled completely full.

Very tasty. I added a little bit of lemon juice, but otherwise followed the recipe. Oh, and to eliminate lumps, I mixed the corn starch with 1/2 cup of the water before adding it to the saucepan with the rest of the water and sugar.

I took a risk and made this for company without making it for myself first. It was delicious and was gone by evening's end. I like my pies stuffed full, so even though I stuck to the recipe, I used the most of it to fill one pie. I had a small amount leftover that I saved and ate later. This is a keeper!

Yummmm...I've made this twice (when strawberries are on sale! It's very similar to Marie Callendar's strawberry pie. I left the strawberries whole and used only enough glaze to coat the berries and maybe half way up the crust. I eat it with fresh whipped cream.

Yummy. I like it even better with a layer of cream cheese on the bottom.

I made this as the dessert for a cookout party we had and it was a success but I will make some changes the next time I make it... Firstly, I only used 1 cup of sugar since many reviewers talked about how sweet the original recipe was and 1 cup was not quite enough. Next time I make it I will try using 1 1/2 cups to see if that is adequate. Secondly, I used 5 tblsp cornstarch and the filling/glaze congealed too much as it chilled and became a gel. I think the 3 tblsp would have been enough. I'm getting ready to remake the pies with my suggested changes and we'll see how that goes. All in all, though, it was still darned good and I would serve it again - I just think these changes would make it superb!

Very good pie recipe. I did add an extra tsp. cornstarch. I did not have a problem with the filling being runny. My family and friends gobbled down and I made two pies!!
