This delectable dessert is going to leave your diner (kitchen) smelling of sweet strawberries. And for this recipe, you don't even need the butter or flour – just the sugar.
Ingredients:
• 1 sweet all-butter pie crust
• 3½ cups fresh strawberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup water
• 3 T of cornflour
• whipped cream or crème fraîche to serve
Equipment:
• large mixing bowl
• medium mixing bowl
• cake tin (8 in. width approx)
• bowl for melting chocolate
• saucepan for melting chocolate
Method:
• Wash and remove the core from your strawberries (this is easy to do with a straw).
• Crush half of the washed strawberries with a vegetable masher and then add the sugar, water and cornflour. Put the other half of the strawberries aside for later.
• Put the strawberry mixture into a medium-size saucepan and cook over a medium heat. Stir it frequently until it boils.
• Boil the mixture for 1 minute, then remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
• Thinly slice the remaining strawberries evenly (use a mandolin if you have one) and then place them in an even layer at the bottom of your pie case.
• Pour the cooled strawberry mixture over the top and leave to chill in the fridge for at least two hours.
• When you're ready (or hungry enough), remove the pie from the fridge. Cut into slices and add the whipped creme or crème fraîche.
• This should be eaten on the same day that you make it. Order up!
