Strawberry Strawberry Pie from THE REALLY GOOD FOOD COOK BOOK

“I really love this pie too!I always pour the cooked jello filling into a big glass bowl on top of my cut up strawberries.I gently stir until filling is mixed well, then refrigerate to let it set up, usually overnight.The next day I stir it up again and pour it into my cooked pie shells.This way the crust doesn’t get soggy at all from the hot liquid, and I’m better able to gague how much filling to put in without making a mess.Any extra gets put into parfait cups with whipped cream and my kiddo’s eat it up!Good stuff!!”

“Excellent!I can’t believe that I just made this recipe yesterday, and it’s gone!The strawberries take on such a nice flavor.The only bad part was waiting for it to set!!I would highly recommend this one!!Marianna U. Kretschmer”

“Very easy, and a good way to celebrate the first berries of the season!”

“Such a simple dessert and really good too, this was a Christmas dessert for us, I had planned on making this a few weeks ago, sure glad I did.”

“I have made this recipe several times and instead of the regular boring pie crust, I use a shortbread pie crust that you can find at the store with the grahm cracker crust pie shells.I use 1 1/4 cup hot water to dissolve the gelatin and corn starch and do not add the cold water. After all, you are going to bring the mixture to a boil, so what is the point of the cold water?This smaller amount of water, along with the pint of strawberries is perfect to fill the store bought pie crusts (which seem to be smaller) without running over the top. It sets perfectly within a couple hours.If I were to ever make it in the standard pie pan, then I might need the additional water.Other than that this is a great recipe and everyone loves it.Very easy and quick to put together too!”

“awesome..don’t use sugar, and only use 1 1/4 cup hot water.”

“THE strawberry pie to make. Delicious, yet took only 10 minutes to make. There WAS too much filling though, I was stupid and poured it all in, and I ended up with a big mess.”

“I made a sugar free version using sugar free jello and 1/4 cup of splenda, it got rave reviews from both the diabetic and non diabetics!Thanks!”

“By all the reviews I knew this had to be a winner & boy it is. Yum Yum Yum. I really want to hide it in the back of the fridge so I don’t have to share.”

“Excellent recipe. I make this with a sugar free graham cracker crust and sugar free jello. It turns out great.”

“I have been making this recipe for years.My mom used to make it all the time when i was a kid.>br/br/

“Oh, this was just okay. I won’t give it stars because I probably played around with the glaze too much. I sliced the berries thickly, and put maybe 2 1/2 cups into the pie. The glaze did seem too sweet, so I added some lemon without measuring. I only cooked the glaze with the one cup of hot water, then added an unmeasured amount of ice water before refrigerating, to thicken it before I poured it on the pie. I didn’t use all of it on the pie, but it did seem like the pie was not full enough- of berries or glaze.>br/

“This was really delicious even without whipped cream!I hate using boxed Jello, but have to admit it was very good in this pie.I used fresh strawberries from my garden and a store-bought graham cracker crust.Next time I’ll be sure to have whipped cream!”

“This went over well in my house. I used some of the suggestions I read in other reviews. I cut the water down to 1 1/4 cup and I also mixed the liquid and strawberry’s together in a bowl before I added it to the pie crust. I used a store bought shortbread crust and my ingredients almost fit perfectly. I had just a touch left over.”

“Wonderful pie.Made a double batch.It makes enough to make three pies.So be aware when you double it, you will have enough glaze for 3 WONDERFUL pies.Thanks for the recipe.Highly recommend this easy pie.”

“This was awesome. I added some diced pineapple, left over from a banana split party, and used the juice to sub some of the water. Thank you for sharing!”

“5 star looks & directions/ 3 star taste.It was good but tasted more like a Jello pie to us, very sweet & too much glaze.It needed twice the amount of strawberries to make up for all the glaze.”

“I love strawberry pie and this is the first one I have ever made and the best I have ever tasted!!I used 1 1/4 cups of hot water but I also added 1/4 cup of bottled lemon juice.I heated it up and cooked only til translucent (only took a few minutes)it did not come to a rolling boil.I sliced up strawberries and quartered some so they fit in the pie shell more evenly.I also used another reviewers tip and poured the strawberries and gel into a glass bowl and let it cool in the bowl before pouring into the pie crust.Crispy pie crust, tangy sweet filling and topped with whipped cream DELICIOUS.Thanks for sharing this will be made all summer long!!”

“This was pretty good, considering it wasn’t quite strawberry season when i tried it and was craving fresh strawberry pie. However, i was lucky enough to find some decent berries. I was looking for something close to Bakers Square’s recipe pie and this one did ok, considering its their crust that i cannot duplicate. However, this was good. Getting it to set was a challenge for me. Thanks.”

“Definately one great dessert tonight, and definately worth making.Strawberry jello, and strawberries.Made recipe down the line, and was very easy to make and prepare.Made for I RECOMMEND tag.”
