Fresh Strawberry Pie

By srumbel

A favorite way to enjoy fresh strawberries at our house is in a pie. My mom has been making this Fresh Strawberry Pie every strawberry season for as long as I can remember. I now make this same strawberry pie for my family. This pie is very easy to make and it is packed to brim with fresh strawberries and a thick, gooey glaze all in a yummy crust.

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches)
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 1 3 oz. package strawberry gelatin
• 1 Tablespoon strawberry Kool-Aid powder (I add this to give more of a strawberry flavor.)

Preparation

Step 1

Bake pie crust according to package directions and let cool.
While crust is cooling, wash, hull and slice berries.
Arrange strawberries in cooled crust.
In a small saucepan combine sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil and continue cooking for 2 minutes or until thickened – stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and stir in gelatin and Kool-Aid until dissolved.
Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until slightly cooled.
Pour cooled gelatin mixture over strawberries.
Refrigerate for several hours or until set.
Serve with whipped cream.
