CRUST:

 

50

 

vanilla wafers

 

¼ cup 

 

butter or margarine, melted

 

2 Tbs 

 

sugar

 

1 tsp 

 

grated orange zest
 

 

 

 

STRAWBERRY FILLING:

 

2 cups 

 

ripe strawberries

 

½ cup 

 

water

 

½ cup 

 

sugar

 

2 Tbs 

 

cornstarch

 

¾ tsp 

 

lemon juice

 

6 cups 

 

small ripe strawberries, washed and hulled

 

½ cup 

 

whipped cream

 

 

1

To make the crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Process wafers in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter, sugar and orange zest and pulse just until combined. Pat the crumb mixture over the bottom and up the side of a greased 9" pie plate. Bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

2

To make the filling: Mash 2 cups of strawberries in a saucepan, using a potato masher. Stir in the water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press the strawberry mixture through a sieve into a bowl, discarding the solids and reserving 1 cup of the liquid. Add additional water if needed to measure 1 cup.

3

Combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and mix well. Stir in reserved liquid. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in lemon juice.

4

Arrange just enough of the 6 cups of strawberries to form 1 layer over the baked crust. Spoon about 1/3 of the sauce over the strawberries and top with remaining strawberries and remaining sauce. Chill for 3 hours or longer. Serve with the whipped cream.

 

Servings: 8
