Strawberry Pie By Kitty's Kitchen

By srumbel

If I had to choose a recipe that I have made more than any other, it's probably this recipe for strawberry pie! I cut the recipe from The Columbus Dispatch, over 40 years ago. Our family loves this pie. In fact, my hubby and I have been known to eat it in two days!! Once cut, it doesn't keep very well...that's the truth, and now you know why we HAVE to eat it so quickly.

Ingredients

• 1 pre-baked pie shell
• 1 quart strawberries, cleaned & hulled & set aside
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 3 T. cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 2 T. light corn syrup
• pinch of salt
• 3 T. strawberry gelatin

Preparation

Step 1

Combine sugar & cornstarch in a heavy saucepan & stir. Add water, corn syrup & salt. Cook until thickened & clear in color. Remove from heat & add gelatin, stirring well to dissolve the gelatin. The original recipe said to add red food coloring, but I never do. Let cool.

Pour over the berries. I usually cut the berries in half. Mix gently & pour into the baked pie shell. Chill. Top with whipped cream.

Serves 6-8 (or 2 people in 2 days!!!!)
