Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups crushed pecan shortbread cookies

  • ¼ cup blanched slivered almonds

  • cup butter, melted

  • 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

  • cup water

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. In small bowl, stir together all crust ingredients. Press on bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely.

  3. Mash enough strawberries to equal 1 cup. In 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in mashed berries and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a full boil (8 to 15 minutes). Boil 1 minute; remove from heat.

  4. Stir in salt and almond extract; cool 10 minutes. Fill baked crust with remaining fresh strawberries; pour cooked mixture over fresh berries. Refrigerate at least 3 hours. Garnish with whipped cream and walnuts if desired.
