Just Like Strawberry Pie

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. If you love strawberry pie, then this is your Z2 dessert. Just no crust, but maybe you won’t even miss it.
Servings: Serving size approximately 1/3 cup cooked. That’s because the strawberries will shrink some.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz of ripe strawberries, washed, stemmed and cut in halves or quarters. Cut the big ones into quarters.
- 3 Tbl of water
- 3 tsp of corn starch
Instructions:
Put the berry pieces in a medium sauce pan. Add just enough water to wet the bottom of the pan so the strawberries don’t stick. Heat on medium high. When the berries are warm take the corn starch in a little bowl and add one Tbl of water to it. Mix with a spoon to get it saucy. Add that to the cooking berries. It will thicken up pretty quickly. I smoosh a couple of the berries so they dissolve into the pink sauce. I try to leave many of the berries intact so they have some stability to the dish. If you keep cooking it you’ll end up with strawberry mush but that still tastes good, too.
Enjoy!
Cheers,
Roasted Prime Rib
When I was a kid this was served at very special meals. My mother made hers plain. I had no idea how incredibly fabulous this meat could taste until I started adding the meat rub!
Zola-fied Berghoff Spinach
The Berghoff is a famous Chicago restaurant. Their creamed spinach is an institution in itself. This is my ZReduction version.

Who doesn't love cranberry sauce. Happy holidays!
Cheesy Green Bean Casserole
A traditional holiday classic.
Cranberry Royale (EASY)
This is a takeoff of a cranberry bake recipe from Southern Living. This is homey, tasty, and not too sweet. Just a little cranberry twang but plenty of sweetness in the apples.
Chive Butter Biscuits
This is a combination of a few recipes I found. Love the fact that these are low carb and tasty!

If a recipe calls for frozen strawberries can I use fresh berries instead?
Absolutely! Frozen strawberries are definitely ok to use.
Hello. – So you don’t have to sweeten the strawberries with Truvia or something?
This is a great question. I don’t know, I think this recipe doesn’t necessarily require it, but you could certainly add some Truvia if you’d like it to be a little sweeter. Add the Truvia after you’ve removed it from the heat.
Could you serve this with cottage cheese?
Yes, definitely! Keep in mind that if you’re on ZReduction, the cottage cheese will count towards your daily protein allotment 🙂
