This vintage recipe was clipped from a newspaper and found in a large collection, date unknown but likely the 1930’s or 1940’s. I’ve typed it below along with a scanned copy.

Delicious Fresh Strawberry Pie

Wash and hull 1 quart strawberries. Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar. Let stand 2 hours. Drain juice from berries into a cup, adding enough water to make 1 cup. Put on stove and bring to boil. Thicken with 2 tablespoonfuls cornstarch. Cook until clear. Bake a pie shell in a 9-inch pan. When cold, pour berries in shell and pour thickened juice over them. Place in refrigerator to chill. Whip 1-2 pint heavy cream. Add sugar, spread over pie.
