Since strawberry season is coming up for a lot of us, I thought I'd post my "safe" recipe.

Graham Cracker Crust - use your own recipe or:
melt 1/3 cup margarine in pie plate
add 1/4 cup sugar and 1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs. Mix well and press into pan. You can microwave it on medium for a couple of minutes to "set" it.

Karin just posted a neat looking pie crust - here's her version: web page

Filling:
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup water (+1/4 cup if needed)
2 tbsp cornstarch
pinch salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 pint mashed fresh strawberries
Mix all of these together and thicken on medium in a pot.
When thick add the rest of the pint of sliced strawberries and pour into pie crust. Chill 2 hours before serving.

If you have trouble with raw strawberries, you can finely chop or puree the second half of the pint to make it easier to digest.
Enjoy!
