One of my favorite spring recipes…fresh Strawberry Pie.  I use a recipe I found in a Pennsylvania Grange Cookbook.  It is fairly simple, but does take a few minutes to cook the  filling.

Ingredients

2 Deep Dish Pie Shells

Strawberry Jello – Large package 6 oz.

3 cups Water

1 Cup of Sugar (Original Recipe calls for 1 1/2 cups of sugar, but 1 cup is plenty sweet enough.)

4 TBSP Corn Starch

8 Cups of Strawberries

Makes 2 Pies.

Instructions

Bake Pie Crusts as directed on package

Cap strawberries.  If small you may use whole, if large you will want to slice.  I slice mine.

Mix Sugar, Corn Starch and Water

Bring ingredients to a slow boil until mixture becomes clear and thick (This takes a while)

Stir frequently.

While mixture is cooking, place strawberries into pie crust.

When mixture is clear, remove from heat and add jello.

Stir jello till glaze is clear with no lumps.

Spoon glaze filling over strawberries.

Refrigerate finished pies till ready to serve.

Add Cool Whip.

Serve!
