"This is a recipe I use quite often when the strawberries are no longer in season. This is much better than canned pie filling. Enough for 1 pie."

So easy to make this filling and tastes so good there is no need to buy the canned stuff anymore. I used the refrigerated pie crust and when served topped with some whipped cream. One of the best strawberry pies we have had! Thank you Bea for another keeper! Made and reviewed for the Billboard Recipe Tag Game.

I made this recipe to use as a topping and it is so delicious! I added just a bit of extra water during the boiling process cause mine didn't release as much liquid as I hoped when it thawed, plus it turned out with perfect consistency for what I wanted after I added the cornstarch slurry. I love simple recipes with fabulous results. I will be using this one often. Thanks for posting and sharing it Bea!
