Strawberry Glace Pie

1 Baked 9-Inch Pie Shell 1 Tablespoon Butter Or Margarine
1 1/2 Quarts Strawberries 1 Cup Heavy Cream, Whipped
1 Cup Sugar 2 Tablespoons Confectioner's
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch -Sugar, Sifted
1/2 Cup Water

Hull, wash in cold water, and thoroughly drain berries. Crush enough (with potato masher) to make 1 cup. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Add crushed berries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring over low heat for 2 minutes. The mixture will be thickened and translucent. Remove from heat and stir in butter. Cool. Place whole berries in pie shell, reserving a few choice ones for garnishing. Pour cooked mixture over berries and chill at least 2 hours. Serve topped with whipped cream sweetened with confectioner's sugar. Garnish with remaining strawberries.

Variation: Strawberry Cheese Glace Pie: Combine 1 3-oz package cream cheese (room temperature) with 1 tablespoon milk and spread over bottom of pie shell before adding berries.

Recipe - Calla Ferre - From Farm Journal's Complete Pie Book.

"I once belonged to a book club, and every month I was sent a new cookbook.  One of them was the Farm Journal Complete Pie Book, and I found this recipe there.  Since then, it has been one of our favorites because the strawberries are fresh and not cooked, so you get a true strawberry flavor." - Calla Ferre

"When I was building up my basic cookbook library, the Farm Journal Complete Pie Book was a must have.  Luckily, I was able to find a copy on eBay.  I loved this pie, so I made it often.  I served some to my best friend Alvin in college and it instantly became his favorite pie (until much later when he had the Loon Lake Blueberry Pie.)  I would make it often for him as a bribe ... or a thank you.  When I make it though, I usually quarter the strawberries into more manageable slices.  That way you get a better sauce to strawberry mixture." - April Ferre
