April Pie - Strawberry

I couldn't wait until May for strawberry pie. The stores had them looking yummy, so I had to do it now!

Growing up, this was my first introduction to strawberries. I wasn't much of a fruit kid, so I wouldn't touch it unless it was in something for dessert. I got this recipe from my momma.

For this recipe, I didn't make my own crust but used a frozen deep dish variety.

Strawberry Pie

Deep dish pie crust

1 pint strawberries, washed and halved

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

4 T. strawberry Jello

3 T. cornstarch

dash of salt

Bake pie shell as directed and cool. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into a small saucepan, add water, and cook until mixture is clear. Add jello and stir until it dissolves. Cool the gelatin completely. Layer strawberries in the cooled pie crust and pour the cooled mixture over them. Refrigerate until the pie sets. Put a dollop of Cool Whip on top and ENJOY!
