Ingredients:
***Crust***
1 cup All Purpose
Flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 stick butter
1 1/2 tablespoon
shortening
1/8 cup Ice water
***Filling***
1 cup Sugar
3
tablespoons Corn Starch
1 pint Strawberries
1 (12 oz.) can 7-UP or
Sprite
Whipped cream
Directions:
For Crust: Put
flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Cut the butter, and
shortening into the flour. Process a few seconds until the mixture
resembles a coarse meal. Drop by drop add the water, processing briefly.
The whole process should take about 20 to 30 seconds.
Wrap and
chill for an hour. Remove from refrigerator, and let stand 15 minutes
before rolling. (The Martha Stewart Cookbook.) You can double this up for
a top and bottom crust.
For Filling: In a medium sized sauce pan
combine sugar, cornstarch, and 7-UP until creamy. Cook over a medium to a
medium high heat until the mixture becomes thick. When this mixture
becomes thick, cool to room temperature, and add a couple of drops of red
food coloring.
Wash, and cut strawberries into quarters, or
smaller depending on how large they are. Sprinkle a teaspoon or two of
sugar on the strawberries, and place them into the shell. Pour the cooled
7-Up mixture over the strawberries. Allow this to set for a few minutes.
Serve with plenty of Whipped
Cream.
