DIRECTIONS:

Step 1

Combine Swerve, puree, salt and add water slowly in a sauce pan.

Step 2

Mix well and cook over medium heat (about 15 min)- wait for glaze to thicken, and it is okay if it boils, just keep stirring occasionally so it doesn’t stick to bottom of the pan.

Step 3
Sprinkle xanthan gum over mixture and whisk into mixture. Let glaze cool.

Step 4
Cut strawberries and place in a bowl. Pour cooled glaze over berries and toss gently.

Step 5
Place berry/glaze mixture in baked pie shell, and cover with cling wrap.

Step 6
Refrigerate for four hours, and serve with Swerve whipping cream.

Step 7

Note: I use the Swerve gluten free pie crust for my pie shell, and I also place the pie in the freezer for about 30 minutes before cutting.
Makes about 10 servings.
