4 c. fresh strawberries
1/2 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
1 c. water
1 1/2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. granulated sugar
8 inch pie crust, baked

Wash the strawberries and remove the hulls. Add confectioners' sugar to 3 cups of the berries. Let stand for 1 hour.

Crush the remaining cup of berries. Cook these with 1 cup water for 2 minutes. Mix cornstarch and granulated sugar and stir into the cooked berries. Cook gently, stirring constantly, for about 20 minutes, with the whole berries. Cover with the hot sauce. Cool.

The sauce will become a beautiful clear glaze when it is cold. Makes 6 servings.
