1 pie
- Serves:
- 10
ingredients
- 2 lbs strawberries
- 3⁄4 cup sugar, granulated
- 1⁄2 cup cranberry juice cocktail
- 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
- 6 ounces graham cracker ready pie crusts
- 1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt, Greek-style
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
directions
- Combine 3 cups sliced strawberries, sugar and juice in a medium saucepan.
- Mash berries in pan with a potato masher; stir in cornstarch and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until very thick, about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat; let cool slightly and then stir in remaining sliced strawberries. Scrape into pie crust.
- Let cool slightly; cover loosely with plastic lid from pie crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours (you can then freeze the pie for a little while if desired, to make it easier to slice).
- To serve, in a medium bowl, stir together vanilla yogurt and lemon zest until blended. Spread on top of pie, leaving a border around edges so strawberry filling shows. Slice reserved strawberries and use them to garnish pie. Slice pie into 10 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Wonderful dessert! I used Splenda instead of sugar so my diabetic, lactose intolerant friend could eat it, too. I had no cranberry juice and didn't feel like buying any for a mere half cup, so I used water with a teaspoon of lemon juice. Everyone enjoyed it - with or without the yogurt topping.

Delicious! I made a chocolate graham crust and baked it before adding the filling.

Even though I am still young (25) Life experince has aged me alot.
I learned to cook at both of my grandmother's knees (One southern American, one southern Irish) when I was about five. By ten I started collecting cookbooks and experinmenting on my own.
As a latch key kid I cooked for my four younger brothers and sisters.
My mom ran a small deli before she died when I was 17 so alot of my recies debuted there.
Now I run my own catering Buisness.
I am married to a wnderful man for five years now. I am a six year old daughter, sons who are four and three.
We are also raising my 14 year old sister and nine Year old stepsister and have a 16 year old foster daughter, all of which love cooking with me.
I am writing a cookbook with the hopes that when I pass I can leave my recipes for them
My cookbook collection has now reached over 1200.
Thank you for trying and reviewing my recipes..
