Strawberry Pie!


Here is an awesome recipe Kathi Eshleman shared with me. I tried it out a couple days ago and it turned out super delicious! Thank you, Mrs. Eshleman!

Strawberry Pie

1 baked pie crust
1 quart strawberries, hulled, washed
3/4 cup sugar
3 T strawberry jello powder (half of a small box)
3 T cornstarch
1 cup of warm water


In a pan, stir together the sugar, jello, and cornstarch. Slowly add the warm water. Stir and cook over medium heat until thick and bubbly. It will change color from pink to bright red. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Add strawberries and toss until coated. Pour into baked pie crust. Chill well and serve with Cool Whip.
