Summer-Easy Strawberry Pie

Summer-Easy Strawberry Pie

The secret to making a good strawberry pie is in the glaze. I think I've tried every glaze recipe out there, and I've settled on a retro one that's easy and always garners raves, whether I'm bringing it to a potluck or welcoming a new neighbor with one. And talk about easy ... I use a store-bought crust. Now that's summer-easy cooking.

​

Directions

2. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in a pan and cook over low heat until thick, stirring often. 
3. Stir in Jell-O and cool to room temperature.
4. Wash and hull berries. *Place half in bottom of pie crust. Pour half of the cooled Jell-o glaze over them.
5. Place remaining berries on top and pour remaining glaze over them, coating all the berries.

*Note: If the berries are very large, slice some in half and place in the bottom of the pan.
