INGREDIENTS FOR STRAWBERRY PIE

  • 1 baked pie crust, cooled
  • 2 16-oz packages fresh strawberries
  • 2/3 cup sugar, divided
  • 4-5 Tbsp instant ClearJel thickener
  • 2-3 drops red food coloring, optional
  • whip topping

HOW TO MAKE A FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE

In a bowl, mash 1 cup strawberries with fork or pastry blender; sprinkle with 1/3 cup sugar and let sit for 15-20 minutes for juices to collect.

Halve remaining berries and arrange in pie shell, cut sides down.

Mix 4-5 Tbsp instant ClearJel with remaining sugar and add to mashed berries. The instant kind doesn't need to be cooked; if you use the regular ClearJel, you will need to cook the berries a little bit. If you've never used ClearJel before, here is a helpful guide. It's better than both flour and cornstarch because it thickens more consistently and it doesn't cloud the filling or leave a starchy taste.

Pour mashed strawberry mixture over berries in pie shell.

Top with additional berries and put in fridge to set.

Serve with whip cream.

  1. I love this strawberry pie!! I’d tried a different kind before, but it was lacking, so now my hubby and I both really liked this one. I made it with brown sugar instead of white and cut back a little bit and it tasted great for ppl who are used to less sugar. :)
    Great job, again!
