1 9" baked pie shell (see "No-Fail Pie Crust" previously in RCTonline)

4-5 cups fresh strawberries

1/2 c. water

1/2 pkg. strawberry Danish Dessert

1/3 c. sugar

3 Tbsp. cornstarch

dash salt

1/4 tsp. almond extract

1 Tbsp. butter

Whipped Topping, as desired



Directions:  

Cut up half the strawberries in halves or thirds into the pie shell.  Put the rest of them into a blender and "rough cut" them with 3/4 c. water.  In a separate bowl, stir cornstarch and salt evenly into the sugar and Danish Dessert.  Pour mixture into saucepan and heat on medium, stirring constantly, until bubbly and thickened (and kind of clear red, like glaze).  Remove from heat and stir in almond extract and butter until melted.  Let mixture cool a bit, stirring occasionally, then pour over strawberries in crust shell ("shake" down the sauce by flat dropping the pan a short distance for a few times).  Refrigerate until cool and set.  Add whipped topping to individual slices and inhale!  Oh.  Yum.
