How to make french strawberry pie:

Wash berries, hull and drain well. Reserve half the berries for filling and half for glaze. Use the poorest for the glaze. Mash and strain berries for glaze until juice is extracted (roughly 3/4 cup juice). Bring juice to boiling point in small saucepan. Stir in a little cold water to cornstarch to make it a little liquidy. Slowly add cornstarch mixture and sugar to the juice, stirring while adding. Cook slowly 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool.

Blend softened cream cheese with orange juice and spread over bottom of cooled pie crust. Slice remaining reserved berries and place in the cheese coated shell. Add mashed berries to the sliced. Spread cooled glaze over the berries in shell. Refrigerate until very cold. Spread whipped topping over all.No Roll Mazola Pie Crust:1 1/2 c. flour1 1/2 tsp. sugar1 tsp. salt1/2 c.
