Strawberry Pie Recipe

This pie is made of a graham cracker crust and a great substitute when I'm craving Backyard Burgers' strawberry cobbler.

The crust:

9 graham crackers pulsed into crumbs or 1 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs
3T sugar
5T melted butter

Mix together and press into a 9-inch pie pan or 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.

The filling:

2 cups of strawberries
1/2 cup sugar

Put the berries and sugar in the food processor and pulse until it's a puree.
Transfer to a pot and cook on medium heat with:

1/4t of salt and 2T cornstarch

Cook mixture for about 5 minutes until the taste of the cornstarch is gone, and the mixture has a custard appearance to it. Stir it constantly.

The topping:

4 cups of strawberries
3T strawberry preserves or orange marmelade, melted

Coat with berries with the melt preserves or marmelade to give the berries a shiny appearance.

Pour the filling into the crust and top with the strawberries. Gently push the berries into the custard.

Cover the pie and put it in the refrigerator to set up anywhere from 2-3 hours to a day.

Bon Appetit!!
