First let's make the Pie crust:
Throw in 3 cups flour to a large bowl,
with 1 teaspoon salt. Now cut in 1 1/2 cup shortening. I didn't take pictures of this step because I'm a dork.
Whisk 1 egg (I used the package for the shortening),
And pour it in the flour/shortening/salt mixture.
Add that along with 1/4 cup water, (5 tablespoons)
and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
Mix that until combined.
Place 1/2 the dough into a plastic bag....
And flatten slightly with a rolling pen. Do the same with the other half, and place both in the freezer. This makes 2 pie crusts.
For the filling:
For the filling:
To a medium sauce pan, pour in 1 1/2 cups sugar,
4 1/2 to 5 tablespoons corn starch,
1 1/2 cups water (This is 1 cup water mixed with 1/2 cup pureed strawberries.) and a pinch of salt. cook that over medium heat until thick.
Add 2 tablespoon gelatin and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Mix and cook a bit longer.
Pour the mixture into the baked pie crust (see Pioneer Woman) And refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm.
This is more like 45 minutes. I know this is a sloppy picture, but doesn't sloppy look good?
Enjoy!
