Glazed Fresh Berry Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups fresh strawberries
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 tablespoons cornstarch
1 pinch salt
18 inches deep dish pie shells, baked
4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups whipping cream, to serve (whipped and sweetened with icing sugar and vanilla)

Preparation

First, bake the deep dish pie shells according to the instructions on the box, then let cool as you prepare the rest of the recipe.
To make glaze, crush 2 cups strawberries; add cold water to make 2 cups juice mixture. Pour into small heavy saucepan and place over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes; strain and add cold water to make 2 cups.
In heavy saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually whisk in strawberry juice mixture and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook for 1 minute or until mixture is thick, stirring constantly. Cool glaze slightly.
Generously fill baked pie shells with the fresh strawberries and blueberries. Divide the glaze in half, then pour over the fruit in each pie. Put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until glaze is chilled and set.
Just before serving, whip cream with some icing sugar and a splash of vanilla to sweeten. Enjoy this fantastic summer dessert! Everyone will ask for seconds.
