Mona's Fresh Strawberry Pie Recipe

Recipe by: rsmith1028

"A great pie using fresh strawberries and sugar-free or regular gelatin."

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line pastry with a double layer of aluminum foil and a layer of pie weights or dried beans.
2Bake in the preheated oven until edge of crust is golden, about 10 minutes. Carefully remove the foil and weights and bake until the crust has set, about 5 minutes more. Allow crust to cool.
3Bring water and pureed strawberries to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in sugar, gelatin, cornstarch, and salt until dissolved, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4Arrange strawberries in pie crust and pour gelatin mixture over berries. Chill until gelatin is set or overnight.

Footnotes

Cook's Note:
May have to slice some of the larger strawberries in half, make sure to let the berries dry completely after washing. Lay them out on a clean kitchen towel, let them dry for several minutes and pat them with a paper towel before putting into the crust. Try brushing the top of the completed chilled pie with a little melted apple jelly to give it a glossy top.
