Yields: 2 pies; Serves 12

Pie:

4 pints (8 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and washed
5 1/2 cups Strawberry Pie Glaze, recipe follows
4 cups prepared whipped cream, recipe follows
2 cooked 9-inch pastry pie shells

Spread the inside (bottom and walls) of each cooked
pie shell with a heaping 1/4 cup of the glaze.
Gently mix the strawberries with 2 cups of the
remaining glaze and divide equally into each of the
cooked pie shells.
Mold mixture into pie shell. For each pie, pour
1 cup of the remaining glaze over strawberries,
filling the holes and gaps, making a relatively
smooth mound. You will have about 1 cup of glaze
left over when finished. Reserve for another use.
