Ingredients
Strawberry Filling
- 3 quarts fresh strawberries, quartered and divided
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- ⅔ cup water
Crust
- 1 ½ cups (10-12 sheets) honey graham crackers, finely crushed
- 4-6 tablespoons butter, melted
- whipped topping, (optional garnish)
Instructions
Strawberry Filling
- Hull and quarter 2 quarts of strawberries and add to a blender. Puree until fine.
- In a large saucepan, combine the strawberry puree, sugar, cornstarch, and water.
- Bring to a low boil over medium heat (until it just starts to bubble) until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. (You will notice when it changes consistency.)
- Remove from heat and add remaining chopped strawberries and stir well. Prepare graham cracker crust while this is cooling a bit.
Crust
- Add 4 tablespoons of melted butter to graham crackers crumbs and using a fork, mix well. You want every crumb coated in the butter as this will be the glue that holds it together. If it seems to be dry at all, add remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter and mix again.
- Pour the graham cracker crumbs into a prepared 9-inch pie dish. Pat them flat with your hand and then use a kitchen glass to press flatter. Start at the center and work out to the sides.
- Now pour the strawberry mixture into the pie dish with the graham cracker crust and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Top with whipped topping before serving. (optional)
