Buttermilk Pastry for One-Crust Pie
1 ½ qt strawberries (3 pints)
1 c sugar
3 T cornstarch
½ c water
1 3oz pkg cream cheese, softened

Bake pastry for one-crust pie. Cool completely. Mash enough strawberries to measure one cup. Mix sugar and cornstarch in 2-qt saucepan. Gradually stir in water and mashed strawberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; cool. Beat cream cheese with spoon until smooth. Spread in pie crust. Top with remaining whole strawberries. Pour cooked strawberry mixture over top. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until set. Store covered in refrigerator.

*For Peach Glace Pie, substitute 5 medium peaches (5 cups) for strawberries (use fruit protector as directed on package to prevent discoloring). For Raspberry Glace Pie, substitute 6 cups of raspberries for strawberries.
