triple berry pie!

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
• 1 quart fresh strawberries, raspberries, marionberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/4 cup water
•  whipped cream or ice cream (but only if you want)                  

Directions

1. Arrange half of strawberries in baked pastry shell. Mash remaining berries and combine with sugar in a medium saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
2. In a jar, shake together cornstarch and water. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture.
