Layer fresh, sliced strawberries on top of the crust. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, boil 1 cup fresh strawberries in ¾ cup water until they start to dissolve. Mix cornstarch and Sucanat, and add to boiling strawberries. Boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for 3–4 minutes, until mixture thickens.
Once mixture is thick, pour into pie dish over sliced strawberries.
Refrigerate 2–3 hours before serving.
Notes
Other fruits can be used in place of strawberries. Both blueberries and peaches work well in this recipe.
