Haussner's Strawberry Pie

FOR PIE

1-1/2 cups sugar

1/2 teaspoons strawberry flavoring

1/2 teaspoons red food coloring

1-1/2 cups boiling water

3 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water

1 cup pastry cream (see recipe below)

1 9" flaky pie shell, pre-baked

1-1/2 pints strawberries, washed and hulled

Wipped cream for decoration

1/4 cup slivered almonds

To make glaze: Add sugar, strawberry flavoring and food coloring to boiling water. Add dissolved cornstarch and stir over medium-high heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.

Prepare pastry cream and let it cool then spread in bottom of pie shell.

Pour in 1/2 pint of strawberries (if berries are large cut them in half lengthwise first). Cover with half of the glaze and add remaining strawberries.

Cover with remaining glaze. Decorate the edge with a ring of whipped cream and sprinkle with slivered almonds.

Chill, serve and enjoy!

PASTRY CREAM

1 cup milk

3 egg yolks

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla

1 tablespoon softened butter

Scald milk in a saucepan and set aside. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until light in color and very thick, then beat in flour.

Pour the warm milk slowly into the egg mixture and blend well. Pour mixture into a sauce pan and cook, stirring with a whisk, over low heat until mixture comes to a boil. It will appear lumpy at first - keep whisking. Make sure mixture does not stick to the bottom of the pan or burn.

Remove from heat. Add vanilla and butter. Cover surface with buttered wax paper so skin does not form. Allow to cool.
