Fresh Strawberry Pie
While Strawberry-Rhubarb pie is a classic recipe, this pie features fresh uncooked strawberries. This recipe comes from Cook's Country/America's Test Kitchen. A glaze is made from pureed strawberries, cornstarch and low-sugar pectin, which is quite unfussy to make. The goal was to glaze fresh strawberries that would highlight the sweetness of the berries. I'd say this was a success, because I loved the flavor of the glaze! I'm also including Cook's Illustrated's recipe for baked pie shell. The not-so-secret ingredient is adding some vodka to the pie dough, which inhibits the build-up of gluten. You can't taste the vodka, as it bakes out, but the crust is a perfect combination of buttery and tender dough. Win!
