Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie
For my mother's birthday, I made this strawberry pie recipe instead of a cake. Since it was mid-May in Oklahoma, the berries were absolutely perfect. It was a memorable occasion for the whole family. —Josh Carter, Birmingham, Alabama

Easy and beautiful red color. Presentation Great!
Had friends over last night and made this. It was absolutely fabulous. I used a gram cracker pie crust. Will definitely make again. Yummy and easy !!!
I remembered eating a strawberry pie in the 70s and thinking it was the best pie I had ever tasted. I've tried many over the years that use gel and just cornstarch and sugar, but with the jello craze happening in the 70s, I should have known it would have jello in it. I made the pie exactly how the recipe listed, with the exception of mixing the strawberries with the mixture first. ( my error, wasnt paying attention) It was EXACTLY as I remembered it. I brought it to my friends and it was a big hit! I'm going to make this my go to pie because it's different and not the berry pie everyone expects.
Strawberry pie is my favorite! This pie is delicious. I used my own crust and topped with homemade whipped cream.
I’ve made this recipe twice now as my husband loves pie. The first time I followed the recipe exactly, the second time I added a tablespoon of lemon juice and used sugar-free jell-o. Delicious! Also, the second timeI used parchment paper to line the pastry while baking for 8 minutes as directed. The pastry puffed up so I cut a tiny slit to release the air bubble, and baked it for 5 more minutes, without the parchment paper as directed. The pastry puffed up again but this time was crisp enough that I couldn’t release the air without cracking the crust. Next time I will use pie weights to keep this from happening. Overall, this is a great recipe and I will be making it again. Maybe, next time with raspberries and raspberry Danish Junket.
I just tried this Strawberry Pie. Delicious!! Thank you!
Made this today for dessert after father's day dinner. Huge hit!! So much better than the pre made "gel" in a bag from the grocery store. Every one raved about how good it was. Will definitely put this in regular rotation for dessert!
very easy and tasty! The strawberry jello really brings out the sweetness of the strawberries! I used a graham cracker crust.
Loved this pie made for a graduation celebration and has become my go to strawberry pie. I made one change though - I used melted white chocolate to cover the baked crust before adding the strawberries and gelatin. The flavor was nice and I never worry about the crust getting mushy anymore. Fun to garnish with a whole strawberry dipped in white chocolate! Yummmm.
Yummy!!! With whipped cream on it, over the top Yummy!!!
