We had lots of berries today so I made a strawberry pie. First, I made and baked a 9” pie crust. Next, I took 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch and whisked those together in a saucepan. Next, I whisked in 2 cups cold water. Then, I cooked it over medium heat until it was thick and bubbly. I removed it from the heat and stirred in one 3 ounce package of strawberry jello. I set it aside to cool.
While that was cooling, I washed, hulled and sliced up about 3-4 cups strawberries. I placed them in a strainer sitting on a layer of paper towels so they could drain and keep my crust from getting soggy (I hope).
After everything was cool enough to handle, I placed about half the berries in the crust and poured about half the gel over them. I then arranged the rest of the berries and added the remaining gel. It’s in the fridge to chill. Later, we will have it with whipped cream. Yum.
