Strawberry Pie

Step 1
Arrange 1/2 of strawberries in baked pastry shell. Place remaining strawberries in a medium saucepan.

Step 2
Add sugar to the strawberries in the saucepan; place over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

Step 3
Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 4
Pour cooked strawberry mixture over berries in pastry shell. Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 3 hours.

Step 5
Before serving, whip cream in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Serve each slice of pie with a dollop of whipped cream.
