Strawberry Pie

                                                                      

My family loves fresh strawberry pies, everyone likes theirs a little different, I usually make 4, all different, some have more strawberries than others, I like the most berries in mine. When I haven't finished my pie, it seems not to bother whom ever eats my pie, that it has more berries.

This filling is wonderful on the four layer delight.

Ingredients:

2 pie frozen pie shells

1 cup sugar

3Tbsp. corn starch

2 cups water

1 Large Strawberry Jello

4 cups sliced fresh strawberries (Reserve a few whole berries for garnish)

Let pie shell thaw slightly, crimp the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake according to instructions.

While pie shell is cooling make filling for pie.

In a medium pot mix sugar with corn starch with a whisk, add water, bring to a boil over medium high heat,

when its a rolling boil, take off heat and add jello, whisking until completely dissolved.

Let cool, about 20-30 minutes.

Wash strawberries, and place on paper towels to dry. Pat with extra towel, to get extra water off. They will

get soggy if left with water on them.

decap and slice strawberries, placing them in the crust, pour strawberry filling over to cover all the berries. May need to poke berries under the filling with back of a spoon.

Refrigerate for a couple of hours, then cover. I like the non-stick aluminum foil. Saran wrap will stick to jello.
