Directions:
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.
