Equipment

pie dish
medium pot

Ingredients

  • 1 baked pie shell homemade or store bought
  • 4 cups diced strawberries
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 strawberry Jell-o powder 3 ounce size
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Clean and dice strawberries.
  • In a medium pot, combine water, strawberry Jell-O powder, cornstarch and sugar. Stir until cornstarch is dissolved.
  • Bring Jello-O mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir constantly and cook until thick and no longer opaque. About 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cool slightly, and add strawberries. Stir until covered with strawberry Jello-O sauce.
  • Fold into prepared pie crust and spread to the edges as evenly as possible.
  • Refrigerate until set (about 2 hours or overnight).
  • Serve with whipped cream or whipped topping.

Notes

  • My mom's original recipe calls for 3 cups fruit, but I love it with 4 cups of fruit!
  • Refrigerate pie loosely with plastic wrap, or foil, and store up to 3 days.
  • Freeze pie, wrapped in plastic wrap and foil, for up to 3 months.
