directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • To prepare crust, place wafers in a food processor, and process until finely ground.
  • Add butter, 2 tablespoons sugar, and orange rind, and pulse 10 times or just until wafers are moist.
  • Press into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.
  • Bake at 350° for 15 minutes; cool on a wire rack.
  • To prepare filling, mash 2 cups strawberries with a potato masher.
  • Combine mashed strawberries and water in a small saucepan; bring to a boil, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Press the strawberry mixture through a sieve into a bowl, and reserve 1 cup strawberry liquid (add enough water to measure 1 cup, if necessary).
  • Discard pulp.
  • Combine 2/3 cup sugar and cornstarch in a pan; add strawberry liquid, stirring well with a whisk.
  • Bring to a boil; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  • Arrange a layer of small strawberries, stem sides down, in the crust.
  • Spoon about one-third of sauce over the strawberries.
  • Arrange the remaining strawberries on top, and spoon the remaining sauce over the strawberries.
  • Chill for at least 3 hours.
  • Serve with whipped topping.

  1. This is an excellent pie, perfect for this strawberry season. The crust is wonderful, too. It goes well with the strawberries. Made for ZWT3 2007.
     
  2. A lite glaze covers the berries enhancing the flavor even more, all nestled in a sweet vanilla wafer crust with a hint of orange- TDF! Thanks so much for sharing. This is a keeper :) Nick's Mom
