A fresh summer pie with a sassy kick!

Servings: 8
Cook Time: 15 min
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients Add to grocery list

1 quart fresh strawberries
12 ounce package frozen strawberries
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons corn starch
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
8 drops red food coloring
2 tablespoons butter
9 inch pie shell, baked and cooled
Fresh whipped cream and fresh mint for garnish

Directions

Wash and hull the fresh strawberries, dry very well. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, combine frozen strawberries with water, sugar, salt, cornstarch and chili powder. Cook until thickened and strawberries have become very soft. Add food coloring as needed for a brighter red color. When thickened, add butter. Cool slightly. Spoon half of cooled strawberry mixture into baked and cooled pie shell. Top with fresh strawberries in a pattern with hull side down on strawberry mixture. Pour remaining strawberry mixture over fresh berries. Chill for at least one hour. Serve with fresh whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

Hi Paula, I love to cook and entered many cooking contests but only won a few. My turkey method is so easy and great tasting. I baste the turkey with melted butter and Kalua and then place in a brown bag, seal tight and never never peek. End results, perfect brown turkey without opening the oven or basting ever. Just let it go. Easter is another thing. I'm Italian, so I make this wonderful Italian braided colorful egg bread. Yummy. Love your show and your great laugh. Peace

This pie is awesome. I was a little leary about the chili powder but it works. This is probably the best strawberry pie filling I have ever made.
