Ingredients

• 1 pound fresh strawberries
• 1 piece pre-baked 9-inch pie crust
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 3 tablespoons strawberry-flavored gelatin powder (e.g., Jell-O)
• 1 cup whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and hull the fresh strawberries, then pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut any large strawberries in half so they are roughly the same size. Set aside to dry completely.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until the cornstarch is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue cooking and stirring for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.

Step 4

Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the strawberry-flavored gelatin powder until completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 15–20 minutes.

Step 5

Once the glaze has cooled, arrange the strawberries in the pre-baked pie crust. Pour the glaze evenly over the strawberries, making sure all the fruit is coated.

Step 6

Refrigerate the pie for 3–4 hours, or until the glaze has fully set and the pie is chilled.

Step 7

Serve the pie with dollops of whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy your Big Boy's Strawberry Pie!
