Instructions:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Stir until smooth and bring to a gentle boil.

- Carefully spoon the strawberry mixture into your baked pie crust, making it look as pretty as possible. This is your Picasso moment in the kitchen!
- Chill the pie for at least 2-3 hours in the refrigerator, or until it’s set – like how we hope to set in our resolutions (but let’s be real!).
