Strawberry Peach Pie

Submitted by AmyZoe

"I love this pie! There is nothing tastier in the summer! I've never bought the store bought strawberry glaze. I followed the recipe from Joy of Cooking that calls for 3 c hulled and crushed strawberries. Strain and then add 1/3 c sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp cornstarch (red food coloring if desired--I leave it out, but it does mean the pie is pink without it). Cook all ingredients over low heat until thick/transparent and cool. For the crust, I'll use a storebought one or make my own. This recipe is from Better Homes and Gardens."

So glad this was posted! I made this pie for many years and then indavertantly gave the Good Housekeeping Cookbook (my Mom's old and falling apart) to Goodwill. Now , Thanks to you, I have it back. I also use the homemade glaze you describe...much, much better. This is a very good, refreshing, and relatively healthy pie...not a lot of sugar...tons of good fruit flavor.
