Strawberry pie:

Last week, I was at work reading the LA Times and discovered a recipe for strawberry pie that sounded delicious. I made it last night, and it was delicious. Here it is, with my modifications:

Ingredients:
Graham cracker crust (or any cooked pie crust)
4 cups strawberries
1 cup sugar
2 T lemon juice
3 T cornstarch
3 T water
CoolWhip (or real whipped cream if you aren't lazy/watching calories)

1. Puree 1 cup strawberries in blender. Mix sugar, lemon juice and pureed berries.
2. Dissolve cornstarch in water and cook berry mixture and cornstarch over medium heat until mixture reaches a boil and thickens, about 15 minutes. Let mixture cool for 10-15 minutes.
3. Wash and DRY strawberries.
4. Mix strawberries in glaze and fill crust.
5. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, then put coolwhip on top when ready to serve. Don't make more than a couple of hours before you are planning to eat.

It's seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten, even better than it sounds to me. And easy!
