Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Cooking with Granddaughters is Great Fun! - Superb Strawberry Pie

Hanna came to stay with us for a short weekend before EFY, so of course we had to cook something. I had some perfect strawberries that needed to be used, so we decided to make a pie. Hanna found "Superb Stawberry Pie," which turned out to be just that. She helped with every step, from crust to filling. It's great to have an assistant! Be sure to time the pie crust - we forgot, and I think it got a little too done. It was quite hard to cut. But the flavor was wonderful. We used butter instead of margarine. I would definitely make this pie again.

SUPERB STRAWBERRY PIE


Crust:
1 cup flour (heaping)
1/2 cup margarine
3½ tbsp. powdered sugar
Blend together & press into 9" pie pan. Bake at 350°F for 20 min. Cool.

Filling:
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp. & 2 tsp. cornstarch
3 tbsp. Karo syrup
1½ cup water
4 tbsp. strawberry gelatin
2 drops red food coloring
1 quart fresh strawberries
Mix sugar and cornstarch, add Karo syrup and water. Bring to a boil and cook 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Add gelatin and coloring; cool mixture. Clean and slice strawberries into pie crust. Pour cooled filling sauce over berries and allow to set. Serve with whipped cream.
