Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups sliced strawberries (2 cups macerated)
1/2 cup of white sugar
1 pie crust cut into strips 1/2 inch wide and baked.
sweetened whipped cream

Steps:

  • 1. PREPARE THE CRUST: You can use your favorite pie crust, or use a store bought crust for convenience. Place the crust on the bread board and slice it into 1/2 inch strips with a sharp knife. Place the strips on a baking sheet and bake according to pie crust baking instructions.
  • 2. MAKE THE STRAWBERRIES Take two cups of strawberries and place into a small bowl, add 1/2 cup white sugar. Take a potato masher and mascerate the berries. Pour this mixture over the remaining sliced berries and toss gently.
  • 3. MAKE THE SHORTCAKE Take a 8 inch glass dish, and layer pie crust strips on the bottom, about 1/2 inch apart. Layer part of the berries on top of the strips. Place another layer of strips, and pour the remaining berries on top. Cover and refrigerate for 2 or 3 hours to let the flavors blend before serving. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
