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,
