Homemade Fresh Strawberry Pie

Homemade Fresh Strawberry Pie

recipe adapted from Heart of Home

This strawberry pie is amazing! My fiance has deemed this his favorite pie now.

Ingredients:

1 baked 9 inch pastry shell ( I used the a frozen one and baked it according to the directions)

1 cup of sugar

1 cup of water

3 tablespoons of cornstarch

1/4 cup strawberry gelatin (about 1/2 a small box of jello)

4 cups fresh strawberries cut into small pieces and placed in a bowl

whipped cream for topping

Directions:

1. In a saucepan, bring the sugar, water and cornstarch to a boil over medium heat, stirring     constantly until the mixture has thickened. 

2. Stir in the strawberry gelatin until dissolved.

3. Remove from heat,  pour into a heat prof  bowl, wrap with plastic wrap, and chill for 1 hour.

4. Spoon a small amount of mixture on pie crust.

5. Add some of the mixture to the bowl of strawberries, stir until all strawberries are coated.

6. Pour the strawberries into the pie dish, and spoon remaining gelatin mixture over the berries.

7. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

I actually doubled the recipe to make 2 pies. One was just strawberries and the other was strawberries and  blueberries.
