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.

the thickened mixture over the top. Refrigerate. Serve
with a dollop of whipped cream or whipped dessert topping.
