Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (9-inch) frozen pie crust ((or make your own))
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup strawberry gelatin powder ((JELL-O))
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries ((tops removed and sliced into quarters))

Instruction

  • Prebake pie crust according to directions on package (making sure to prick the crust with a fork so it doesn't puff up too much while baking). Cool to room temperature
  • In a sauce pan, over medium-high heat, add water, sugar, cornstarch, and strawberry gelatin. Whisk together until thoroughly combined.
  • Whisk mixture constantly while heating to prevent clumping or scorching until mixture begins to come to a gentle boil.
  • Remove pan from the heat and allow the glaze to cool. Tip: I like to put the sauce pan into my sink where I've made some ice water.
  • As the glaze cools it will become translucent in color and you should notice it will thicken a little more as well. Whisk it occasionally as it cools. It should be thickened but still pourable.
  • Add sliced berries to the baked and cooled pie crust.
  • Pour strawberry glaze over berries. Making sure to get it in between the nooks and crannies of the berries as best you can.
  • Chill pie in the refrigerator at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. Top with a dollop of whipped cream.
