I have been reading a lot of vintage books here lately. Vintage cookbooks, expressions from the South, etc.. Right now I am reading The Lost Art of Pie Making Mad Easy by Barbara Swell

So... here's a pie recipe that sounds good.

Strawberry Pie
3 pints fresh strawberries
3/4 cup sugar
3 tbs. cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water
2 tbs. lemon juice
A baked and cooled 9" pie crust

Slice the caps off washed and dried strawberries. Place two cups of berries in a saucepan and crush with a potato masher. Add sugar(more or less to your taste)and cornstarch dissolved in water. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer on low heat until thickened and clear, about 5 more minutes. Remove from stove , stir in lemon juice, and allow it to cool until it's just a bit warm. At this point, you can place the strawberries in a baked crust pointed side up and pour glaze over, or you can stir in halved berries, then pour into your crust. Chill at least 3 hours until glaze sets up. Sever with freshly whipped cream.
