This is a super easy recipe for fresh strawberry pie that is way, way, way better than the gross red goo that you buy at the supermarket. You must make this pie! (Note: It's even better with freshly picked strawberries!)
Fresh Strawberry Pie
1 quart strawberries, hulled (green stems removed)
1 9-inch pie crust, baked
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
3/4 cup water
Whipped cream for serving
Fill baked pie crust with 1/2 of the hulled strawberries. Set aside. Place remaining half of strawberries in a sauce pan with 1 cup of sugar. Over medium heat, bring berries and sugar to a boil, stirring frequently. Whisk cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour cooked strawberry mixture over berries in pastry shell. Refrigerate until chilled and set, at least 3 hours. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

My son Jon first tried this classic Southern dessert on a Boy Scout camp out. It's been his favorite ever since. You can make it with canned peaches, but since we buy fresh peaches straight from the grower each summer, we make it from scratch. Here's the recipe I use:
Peach Cobbler
4 cups peeled and sliced peaches
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 box yellow cake mix (I get mine at Aldi)
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, thinly sliced
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (my fave) for serving
Preheat oven to 350. Combine sliced peaches sugar in a bowl for 20 minutes. Add water and stir. Pour peach mixture into greased 9x13 baking pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix over the peaches. Arrange butter slices evenly over the cake mix. Bake 30-40 minutes until the top is golden brown. Remove and cool. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
