My aunt has an old strawberry pie recipe from a 1960s magazine that includes 7-Up. My mouth is watering for a piece (or more) now!

STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE

STRAWBERRY CREAM PIE

1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust, baked
5 cups fresh strawberries, divided
2/3 cup coconut palm sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream (for topping)

If the strawberries are really large, halve or quarter them. Arrange half of them in the baked pie crust.

Mash remaining berries (I used a pastry cutter – worked perfectly). Combine with sugar in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.

In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch, cream and vanilla. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture.

Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour mixture over berries in pastry shell. Chill for several hours before serving.

Whip up a cup of heavy whipping cream. Serve each slice of pie with a generous dollop.
