Pie Recipes
Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 baked 9 inch deep-dish or regular 10-inch pie shell*
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 ounces strawberry Jell-O
- 1 quart fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups water
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add water and lemon juice. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook stirring until slightly thickened and clear, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Stir strawberries into gelatin mixture. Turn into a baked and cooled 9 inch deep dish or regular 10 inch pie shell.
- Chill for 4 to 6 hours or until set.
- Serve topped with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
* A 9 inch deep dish crust is recommended as a 9 inch regular crust will allow the filling to overflow.
