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. |

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. |

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. |
