Strawberry pie, with layers of juicy strawberries surrounded by sweet glaze on a crispy crust must be the quintessential summer dessert.  I remember bringing home a strawberry pie from Shoney's restaurant when I was a kid and thinking it was the best thing ever.  ​
Homemade Strawberry Glazed pie
When your husband goes to a farm auction and brings home a gorgeous tray of strawberries, you make strawberry pie or easy strawberry chia seed jam.   These strawberries were so sweet on their own, the boys literally ate half of them before I could make anything.

*Fresh picked strawberries are sweeter and juicier than strawberries that are picked before they ripen to go to grocery stores.  If using fresh picked strawberries that are naturally sweet, use less sugar to make this pie.  If using store ripened less sweet strawberries, you may want to use more sugar.  The recipe below has a range in the amount of sugar so that you can adjust depending on the sweetness of your strawberries.  ​

This pie is both delicious and simple.  I love using homemade glaze made with common ingredients. No artificial dyes or flavorings that you would find in packaged store bought glaze.  The best part is that making homemade glaze is really pretty easy.  

1.  Crush about 1/2 lb. strawberries with a meat chopper (pictured below) (affiliate link) or a potato masher.  

2.  Cook the mashed berries and 1 cup water at medium high heat for about two minutes to help break down the strawberries.

3.  Sieve the cooked berries to get the juice.  Discard the berry pulp.

4.  Combine the sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan.  Gradually stir in berry juice.  Cook stirring constantly till thick and clear.

5.  Line pie crust with a layer of sliced strawberries.  Drizzle slightly cooled strawberry glaze over berries.  Layer on more sliced strawberries and pour remaining glaze over berries.

Strawberry Glazed Pie
Ingredients:

2 lb. fresh strawberries
1/3 to 1/2 cup sugar*
1 Tbsp. and 2 tsp. cornstarch (I think this amount works nicely to thicken it, if you want it extra thick like jello when chilled, use 2 Tbsp. cornstarch.)
Cooled, baked pie shell

1.  Crush about 1/2 lb. strawberries with a meat chopper or a potato masher.  

2.  Cook the mashed berries and 1 cup water at medium high heat for about two minutes to help break down the strawberries.

Thank you so much for this recipe! Most recipes use strawberry jello. My daughter is allergic to red food coloring so she can't have that. I've been wanting a recipe that I can make myself so that I can enjoy a wonderful fresh strawberry pie without using the gross gel that you can buy in stores. I crave fresh strawberry pie, it says summer to me just as much as watermelon. I will be making this a lot this summer

Hi Nicole,

Thanks so much for commenting. I actually made this again a couple of days ago to redo the pictures on the post since it is an old post and I thought the glaze was a little thin. It was still delicious, but thinner than I remember it being. Actually it was a little sweet too, so I am going to try adding more corn starch next time, maybe 2 to 2 1/2 T. cornstarch and maybe even reducing the sugar slightly. I was thinking of trying 1/3 cup sugar instead of 1/2 cup, although my husband and kids thought it was great the way it was. I have been trying to reduce our sugar intake in general so this might be why I thought it was a little on the sweet side or we just had naturally sweet strawberries that didn't need as much sugar. Happy baking!

This pie reminds me so much of a pie my mother used to make in the summertime. I can't wait to give your recipe a try to see if it's similar to hers. Thanks for sharing!
