2Cook the store-bought pie shells at 350°F for 10 to 15 minutes, just to brown them.
3While the pie shells are baking, combine 1 cup of water, 3/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and a few drops of red food coloring in a bowl.
4Cook the filling mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly for about five minutes, then set aside to cool.
5Once the pie crusts and filling have cooled, pour the filling into a bowl.
6Add 1 quart of washed and sliced strawberries to the filling and mix.
7Pour the strawberry filling into the cooled pie shell.
8Place the pie in the refrigerator to chill until set, which will take about three or four hours.
