It doesn't look as appetizing with half of it missing, but it was delicious.
Here's the recipe:
Grandma Joyce's Strawberry Pie
3 cups fresh strawberries
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
2 drops red food coloring
1 tsp strawberry extract
baked pie crust of your choice
Bake pie crust, set aside. Pour 2 cups chopped strawberries into crust. Mash remaining 1 cup, set aside.
In medium saucepan, bring water, sugar and cornstarch to a boil. Add food coloring, extract and mashed strawberries. Pour into pie crust. Refrigerate several hours.
I don't have any strawberry extract on hand, and it still tasted wonderful. I also put a layer of cream cheese on the bottom of my pie crust, before I added the chopped strawberries. Heaven on a plate!

So glad you wrote it out. It looks so yummy. I like that you add that layer of cream cheese.
Will Alex eat strawberry pie?
You bet he'll eat strawberry pie! Just the fact that it was pie made them all so happy.
That looks and sounds yummy! I bet it was good with cream cheese.
Man, I wanna make one. I could really use the pick me up right now. The cream cheese sounds like a WONDERFUL addition as well.
