--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1                    Baked pie shell -- cooled
  2      tb            Quick-cooking tapioca
  6      c             Fresh strawberries
  1      c             Sugar

Note: I add 1 tb margarine to the thickened sauce before pouring over
berries in pie shell.

Puree 1-1/2 cups berries in blender or food processor. Combine sugar
and tapioca, blending well with a fork. Stir into pureed berries. Add
1/2 c water; blending well. Microwave on HIGH for 2 minutes. Then
stir with fork or wire whisk. Microwave 2 more minutes or until
thick. Stir to smooth. Arrange remaining berries in bottom of baked,
cooled pie shell. Spoon or pour sauce over fresh strawberries. Chill
and serve with whipped cream.
