Which thickener works best for strawberry pie?

When you make any pie, to help thicken up the filling, you need to use either corn starch, flour, tapioca, or a gelatin. The choice is yours!

• Corn starch – 1/2 cup
• Tapioca – 6 Tbsp
• Flour – 3/4 cup
• Gelatin – 6 Tbsp

Why does my strawberry pie not thicken up?

Strawberries are one of the juicies fruits, and this means you need to have enough thickener for it to work.

Also, make sure your thickener is not expired, as it won’t work as effectively.

Strawberry Pie Ingredients List

Here’s what you need to make this strawberry pie:

• 6 Cups frozen strawberries
• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 pie crusts-one for bottom and one for top ( I like to make a lattice on the top)

How to make the best strawberry pie

In a medium saucepan, add the frozen strawberries (I like to buy a large bag of strawberries from the freezer section–lasts longer than fresh strawberries and is great to use in smoothies too) sugar, and lemon juice.

Let these cook covered on medium/low heat for 15 minutes until the strawberries start to get unfrozen and soft. When the strawberries have started to thaw, remove them from the heat.

While your strawberries are cooling down, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

When your strawberries are cool, you will add in your corn starch (1/2 cup). Mix this well, and then pour the cooled straberry filling into your pie crust. 

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown, rotating it at about half-way.

Recipe Notes

Corn starch has a tendency to get rather clumpy when you add it to a hot liquid.

To avoid this, make sure your strawberries have cooled down to room temperature before adding the corn starch.
