When strawberries are on sale you make pie! This fresh strawberry pie recipe is really simple.
The next time you find strawberries on sale buy a bunch and make this easy recipe.
If you are planning on making the pie crust yourself, purchase a backup. Â I wish I had. Instead, I had to make another trip to the store. I’m not an avid pie baker.
Fresh Strawberry Pie
As a kid, we had a restaurant in town named Shoney’s so may know it as Big Boys. They had the best strawberry pie! They also had a Hot Fudge Cake to-die-for. I plan on trying to make that one day.
This pie is just like the Shoney’s pie I adored as a child!
How to Make a Fresh Strawberry Pie with Jello
I did attempt a homemade crust but I failed yet again.  I WILL conquer homemade crust!!  I just have to keep trying. You could certainly use a premade graham cracker crust pie shell to make this a true no-bake pie.
Also, the next time I make this pie I am going to cut the strawberries smaller for easier eating.
- Prepare the pie crust as directed. Set aside.
- Clean & trim strawberries. You might want to at least cut the strawberries in half. I think it will make slicing and eating the pie much easier.
Arrange the strawberries in the pie crust.
- In a saucepan over medium heat combine water, sugar, and cornstarch. Boil until clear and completely dissolved.
- Remove from heat and add the strawberry jello powder. The jello helps enhance the strawberry flavor!
- Pour the mixture evenly over all the strawberries.
- Refrigerate the pie until set.
Serve the fresh strawberry pie with fresh cold whipped cream or cool whip!
This is sure to be one of your favorite desserts.
