The secret is in the crust! This pie is perfect when topped with whipped cream and walnuts.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups crushed pecan shortbread cookies
- ¼ cup blanched slivered almonds
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2
In small bowl, stir together all crust ingredients. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.
Step 3
Mash enough strawberries to equal 1 cup. In 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in mashed berries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (8 to 15 minutes). Boil 1 minute; remove from heat.
Step 4
Stir in salt and almond extract; cool 10 minutes. Fill baked crust with remaining fresh strawberries; pour cooked mixture over fresh berries. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and walnuts if desired.
