Fresh Strawberry Pie image

Each year we wait for "strawberry time" here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. We believe our strawberries are the best in the country! After picking them at a nearby farm, I can't wait to get home to make this pie.

Dough for single-crust pie
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
2 cups halved fresh strawberries, mashed
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups halved fresh strawberries
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons sugar

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine mashed strawberries, sugar and cornstarch. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Cool for 15 minutes; pour over sliced strawberries. Arrange strawberry halves on top of pie. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. , Just before serving, whip cream with sugar and, if desired, almond extract until stiff peaks form. Serve with pie.
