Fresh Strawberry Pie

4 cups strawberries

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1/4 cup lemon juice

1/4 cup corn starch

Cookie Crust

3 tablespoon sugar

1 cup flour

6 tablespoon butter

Cut the butter into the flour and sugar until it forms a thin moist crumb. Press into a 9 inch pie plate, making the bottom thicker then the sides. Bake at 450* for 10 minutes or until golden and cool.

For the Pie

Combine 1 1/2 cup strawberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered 1 minute. Pour into a blender with the starch. Whirl until smooth. Pour mixture back in saucepan and cook over medium heat until it becomes thicker and translucent, cool slightly. Pour half into the crust, pile the berries, and pour the remaining sauce. Cool and refrigerate.
