For the Pie:
- 1 pre-baked pie crust, fully cooled
For the Glaze:
- 2.5 tablespoons corn starch
- 60 milliliters water
- 150 grams pure cane sugar

- Combine Ingredients for Glaze – Transfer corn starch mixture and cane sugar to a medium-sized saucepan. Stir in the strawberry purée until well mixed.
- Cook Strawberry Glaze – Set saucepan over low to medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula to prevent scorching.

- Cool Strawberry Sauce – Remove saucepan from heat and allow strawberry sauce to cool completely before proceeding.
- Prepare Strawberries – Gently wash, hull, and slice the fresh strawberries.
- Combine Filling – Once glaze is cooled, fold in the sliced strawberries, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Assemble Pie – Spoon the strawberry mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread evenly. Mound filling slightly if needed.
- Chill – Refrigerate pie for 3 to 5 hours or overnight to allow filling to set and flavors to develop.
- Serve – Slice and serve chilled, accompanied by whipped cream if desired.
