Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie

Step 1

Start by pre-baking a pie crust. I did a Pillsbury refrigerated one. Just follow the instructions on the package. Use the crust you want.

Step 2

Clean and slice up one pound of strawberries. Set them aside and let them air dry while you make the glaze. The glaze will stick better to dry berries.

Step 3

In a larger sauce pan, add 1 cup sugar to 1 1/2 cups water over medium heat. Sprinkle in 1/4 cup cornstarch slowly while stirring. The mixture will turn cloudy. Stir continuously over medium heat and in 4-5 minutes it will turn clear and thicken. When the thickening is complete (about 30 seconds after it started to clear) remove from heat.

Step 4

Add 3oz package of Strawberry Jello to the mixture and stir completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes).

Step 5

The stir in the berries. Add the berry mixture to the pie crust.

Step 6

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours (3 plus is better) before cutting. Keep refrigerated between servings. This is great the first day and second day. By the third day, the berries deteriorate some.
