Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Black-Bottom Strawberry Pie

 

Ingredients


CRUST

21 shortbread cookies (5 oz)
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
3 tbsp butter or margarine, melted

CHOCOLATE LAYER

1/2 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

STRAWBERRY GLAZE & FILLING

1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup stawberry jam
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 pt strawberries, hulled (24 oz)



 

Preparation

CRUST: Lightly grease 9-inch pie plate. Process cookies and brown
sugar in a food processor until finely crushed and blended. Add
butter and pulse just until crumbs are moistened. Press evenly and
firmly over bottom and sides of pie plate. Place in freezer to firm
up crust.

CHOCOLATE LAYER: Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan (or microwave)
just until steaming hot. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips.
Let stand 1 to 2 minutes, then stir until chocolate melts and mixture
is thick and well blended. Spread evenly over bottom of pie crust.
Refrigerate (or freeze) to firm up chocolate.

GLAZE AND FILLING: Mix sugar and cornstarch in a medium saucepan.
Stir in water, jam and lemon juice. Add 1 cup berries (save prettiest
ones for top of pie) and mash in the saucepan with a potato masher.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, whisking constantly. Boil 6
to 7 minutes, whisking occasionly, until mixture is thick and syrupy.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile drain remaining berries, hulled side down, on paper
towels. Pat dry. Pour about 1/3 of the glaze over the chocolate
layer. Spread with a pastry brush to cover. Top with strawberries,
points up. Pour remaining glaze over berries, using a brush to coat
each berry. Refrigerate at least 1 hour to set glaze.
