A food processor or blender is helpful.

1 9" prebaked pie crust
8 cups fresh strawberries- small to medium size

2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Make and bake your pie crust and set aside.
Stem the strawberries and cut any large ones in half.
Take 1 cup of the strawberries and the water and puree them in a blender or food processor.
Measure and if needed add water so that you have 1-1/2 cup strawberry/water mix.
In a medium saucepan, mix the cornstarch and sugar.
