Ingredients
Ingredients
- 10 graham crackers (2 1/2 by 5 inches) 1 cup sugar 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice 2 quarts strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced (a few whole berries reserved for garnish) 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, blend graham crackers with 2 tablespoons sugar until finely ground; add butter and pulse until crumbs are moistened. Press mixture into the bottom and up the side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crust is lightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine 3/4 cup sugar, cranberry juice, 2 cups strawberries, cornstarch, and salt. Using a potato masher, gently mash strawberries. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until very thick, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in remaining strawberries. Pour into cooled pie crust. Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours (or up to 1 day).
In a large bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons sugar over cream and continue to beat until soft peaks return (do not overbeat). Spread whipped cream over pie, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border around edge. Garnish with whole berries.

Martha Stewart Member Rating: 4 stars 06/16/2018 I used the exact recipe, except I added 1 packet of gelatin that I bloomed for 1 min in two or three tablespoons of cranberry juice then added to pot of cooling strawberry filling. It cut into perfect slices up to 3 days after I made it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/28/2017 This pie was delicious! Not too sweet. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/11/2016 I've made this several times with freshly picked strawberries and it's always wonderful. I use water instead of the cranberry juice. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/25/2015 This recipe turns into a sloppy, gooey mess the next day with a soggy crust. The same thing happens even if you use a regular pie crust. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/17/2013 Wonderful pie and easy to make, not one crumb was left! Made this for a graduation treat since strawberries are my son's favorite. His immediate request was "can you make this again?" If you love strawberries you have to try it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: 5 stars 12/28/2012 This is a yummy pie on a hot summer day! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/13/2012 Great recipe and will only get better as the summer berries get sweeter! There weren't any nice strawberries at the market, so I used blueberries and about a 1/2 cup of blackberries instead. Also, substituted fresh lemon juice for cranberry. Otherwise, I followed the recipe exactly and it came out really well! Looking forward to making this again. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/09/2012 Love it. Didn't have cranberry juice on hand so I used apple juice with lemon zest. I used the thickened fruit because I tasted strawberry pie with gelatin at a restaurant and just don't care for jello as the "glue." Next time I will try more fresh strawberries and less of the cooked berries. Have had that at a cafe and liked it. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 04/09/2012 I edited this recipe based on the previous reviews. It turned out wonderful and was very well received at Easter dinner. I cut down the cornstarch to 2 tablespoons and added 2 tablespoons plain Knox gelatin and 1 tablespoon strawberry flavored gelatin. I also doubled the whipped cream recipe as the half cup was not enough to sufficiently cover the pie as the directions indicated, (to leave a 1 & 1/2 inch border from edge of pie). Everything else I followed true to the recipe. Will make again Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/13/2011 I will try this recipe again, although definitely with gelatin. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 08/13/2011 I've used a different recipe for strawberry pie which came out beautifully, except that it had a regular pastry crust. Since I was looking for something lighter I decided to try this one. However, based on my experience with the other recipe I should been suspicious about the amount of cornstarch and the lack of gelatin. This one turned out to be a complete mess it fell all apart and tasted quite chalky, even though my mother was too nice to say anything. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/23/2011 Has anyone done this w/fresh blueberries? Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/28/2010 I ts amazing Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 06/10/2010 I make a pie like this except I throw in a half a cup of frozen cranberries with the strawberries into the sauce instead of the cranberry juice. It makes a beautifully red sauce with just a hint of tartness. I hadn't ever seen a recipe that used cranberries until this one - - great minds must think alike. :) Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 03/31/2010 Amazing! This is the best pie in the world. It is so easy to make this yummy pie. Perfect for summer! Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/28/2009 This dessert is divine! I love strawberries and this showcases them perfectly. It was quite easy to make and looks beautiful upon completion. This is definitely a new summer staple. Martha Stewart Member Rating: Unrated 07/28/2009 This dessert is divine.
