Ingredients
  1  ea Pie shell, 9", baked  
  ---------------GLAZE--------------------  
  1  pt Strawberries  
  1  c Sugar, granulated  
  2 1/2  tb Cornstarch  
  1  tb Butter, unsalted  
  --------------FILLING-------------------  
  2  pt Strawberries  
  2  tb Orange juice  
  1  c Heavy cream; whipped  
  2  tb Sugar, confectioners  
 
Instructions
 
  1. Prepare and bake pie shell; let cool.

 
  2. GLAZE: Wash strawberries gently in cold water. Drain; hull. In medium saucepan, crush strawberries with potato masher.

 
  3. Combine sugar and cornstarch; stir into crushed strawberies. Add 1/2 cup water. Over low heat, stirring constantly, bring to boiling. Mixture will be thickened and translucent. Strain; add butter. Cool.

 
  4. FILLING: Wash strawberries gently in cold water. Drain; hull. Measure 3 cups; reserve rest for garnish. In medium bowl, gently toss strawberries with Cointreau; let stand about 30 minutes. Then arrange in baked pie shell. Pour cooled glaze over strawberries. Refrigerate until well chilled--about 2 hours.

 
  5. Just before serving, whip cream until stiff; fold in confectioners' sugar. To serve, garnish pie with reserved strawberries and whipped cream. Makes 6-8 servings.

 
  Variation - Strawberry Devonshire Glace Pie: Combine 1 package (3 oz) soft cream cheese with 1 tablespoon light cream. Spread over bottom of cooled pie shell before adding strawberries.
