Steps

1First zest the orange, slice in half and juice. You'll only need 2 tbsp of the juice for the recipe.
2Wash and hull all the berries and pat dry.
3Slice berries into fourths (around 1/2' pieces).
4Place 1/4 of the strawberries in a saucepan and set the rest aside.
5Using a potato masher, thoroughly mash the strawberries in the saucepan.
6Next, mix the mashed strawberries, orange juice, zest, water, cornstarch, sweetener, and salt.
7Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until mixture has cooked down and thickened. It will become gel-like, resembling the texture of jam. This process only takes about 3-5 minutes. Take off heat and set aside.
8Combine cooked berry mixture with remaining berries until thoroughly mixed.
9Pour strawberries into cooked pie shell and serve warm or refrigerate for a couple of hours to set.
10Make the whipped cream by combining the heavy cream, tbsp of Whole Earth sweetener and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer.
11Beat just until stiff peaks form.
12Garnish pie with fresh mint and homemade whipped cream, if desired.
