Pies from Rina's Kitchen




Big Boy Strawberry Pie

1 cup water
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup margarine
3 tablespoons confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups stemmed and washed strawberries (1 quart)
                   
1. Mix together the water, white sugar, salt, cornstarch
   and food coloring and cook in a saucepan for about 5
   mins or until thickened. Set aside to cool. 
2. Make the crust by combining flour, margarine, sugar and
   vanilla - press this into a 9 inch pie pan. Prick all over
   and bake at 350 degrees F until lightly browned. 
3. When crust is cool, place berries in the shell and pour
   the thickened mixture over the top. Refrigerate. Serve
   with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped dessert topping.
