Instructions
Prepare the pie shell
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Line the pie shell with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Remove the weights and paper, and let cool.
Pro tip: Using pie weights prevents the crust from bubbling up during baking.
Prepare the strawberries
Wash, hull, and halve the strawberries. Set aside 250g for the glaze and the rest for filling the pie shell.
Pro tip: Ensure strawberries are dry before using to prevent a soggy crust.
Cook the strawberry glaze
In a saucepan, combine 250g strawberries, sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries are soft, about 5 minutes.
Thicken the glaze
Mash the cooked strawberries, then stir in the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a boil and cook until thickened and clear.
Pro tip: The glaze is ready when it is clear and coats the back of a spoon.
Cool the glaze
Remove the glaze from heat and let it cool slightly. Strain through a sieve to remove seeds if desired.
Pro tip: Cooling the glaze slightly helps it set properly on the strawberries.
Assemble the pie
Arrange the remaining strawberries in the cooled pie crust. Pour the cooled glaze evenly over the strawberries.
Pro tip: Ensure all strawberries are coated to prevent drying out.
Chill the pie
Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour or until set before serving.
Pro tip: Chilling allows the glaze to firm up, making slicing easier.
