Name: Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients: 9 Inch frozen ready-to-bake deep-dish pie shell; thawed; 4 pt Fresh whole strawberries; hulled and divided; 3/4 c Sugar; 3 tb Cornstarch; 1/2 c Water; 1/8 ts Red food color

1. Jesus himself testified to his coming resurrection from the dead (Mk. 8:31; cf. Mt. 17:22, Lk. 9:22). 2. The tomb was empty on Easter (Luke 24:3). 3. The disciples were almost immediately transformed from men who were hopeless and fearful after the crucifixion (Lk. 24:21; Jn. 20:19) into men who were confident and bold witnesses of the resurrection (Ac. 2:24; 3:15; 4:2). 4. Paul claimed that, not only had he seen the risen Christ, but that 500 others had seen him also, and many were still alive when he made this public claim (1 Cor. 15:6). 5. The sheer existence of a thriving, empire-conquering early Christian church supports the truth of the resurrection claim. 6. The Apostle Paul’s conversion supports the truth of the resurrection (Ac. 9). 7. The New Testament witnesses do not bear the stamp of dupes or deceivers. 8. There is a self-authenticating glory in the gospel of Christ’s death and resurrection as narrated by the biblical witnesses (Jn. 16:13).

4	pt	Fresh whole strawberries; hulled and divided

INSTRUCTIONS

Bake the pie shell according to the package directions; let cool. In a
medium-sized saucepan, cook 1 pint strawberries and the sugar over medium
heat until the sugar dissolves, crushing the strawberries with the back of
a spoon. In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until the
cornstarch is dissolved, then add to the strawberry mixture. Cook for 5 to
6 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened, stirring frequently. Remove
from the heat, add the food color, and mix until well blended; allow to
cool completely. In a large bowl, combine the remaining strawberries and
the cooled strawberry mixture until the whole strawberries are well coated.
Spoon into the pie shell, cover loosely, and chill for at least 2 hours, or
until ready to serve.
NOTE: I like to top slices of this with dollops of fresh whipped cream.
Mmm!
