Glazed Strawberry Pie
- 1 Basic Flaky Pie Crust for a 9-inch pie
- 1 tablespoon egg white, lightly beaten
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 cup liquid cran/raspberry concentrate, thawed, undiluted
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 cups strawberries, rinsed, hulled, dried, and halved
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator.
- If necessary, allow it to sit for about 10 minutes or until it is soft enough to roll.
- Using a pastry cloth and sleeve rubbed with flour or two sheets of plastic wrap lightly sprinkled with flour, roll the dough 1/8 inch thick or less and large enough to cut a 13-inch circle.
- Use an expandable flan ring or a cardboard template and a sharp knife as a guide to cut out the circle.
- Transfer the dough to the pie pan.
- Fold under the excess and crimp the border using a fork or your fingers.
- Cover it loosely and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour and a maximum of 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 425F at least 20 minutes before baking.
- Line the pastry shell with parchment, pleating it as necessary so it fits into the pan, and fill it with rice or dried beans.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Carefully lift out the rice or beans with the parchment.
- With a fork prick the bottom and sides and bake 5 to 10 minutes more or until the crust is a pale golden.
- Check after 3 minutes and prick any bubbles that may have formed.
- Cool the crust on a rack for 3 minutes, so it is no longer piping hot, then brush the bottom and sides with the egg white.
- In a 2-quart saucepan, mix together the sugar and cornstarch.
- Gradually stir in the cran/raspberry concentrate and water until smooth.
- Over medium heat, bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil for 1 minute.
- Remove the pan from the heat and cool completely.
- Gently fold in the strawberries and spoon the filling into the baked pastry shell.
- Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set.
- Refrigerated up to 2 days.
- If the fruit is very acidic, the glaze will only keep 1 day.
