Easy Strawberry Pie Filling Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed strawberries
• 0.75 cup water, or more if needed
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 4 cups sliced strawberries

Instructions

1. In a saucepan, combine mashed strawberries and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 3 minutes.
2. Strain the juice from the cooked strawberries, adding enough water to make 1 cup of juice. Discard the remaining pulp.
3. In a separate saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Gradually stir in the strawberry juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes clear and thick, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Gently stir the sliced strawberries into the warm strawberry sauce.
