This is one of my very favorite desserts. Ever. It is so, so delicious, simple, and somehow, it blows the commercially made fresh strawberry pies out of the water. I love this recipe, BUT the portions are just a little off and I haven't gotten it exactly figured out. SO, my recommendation is to double the sauce and strawberries (the way that it's written doesn't make enough for two pies). You might have a little leftover sauce, but that's not a bad thing, in my book. :) The original recipe is from allrecipes.com. Fresh Strawberry Pie.
Prep: 15 Min Cook: 15 min Total: 2 hrs 30 min
2--8" pie shells, baked
2 1/2 qts fresh strawberries
1 c white sugar
2 T cornstarch
1 c boiling water
1--3 oz pkg strawberry flavored jello
In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and corn starch; make sure to blend corn starch in completely. Add boiling water, and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mix, and stir until smooth. Let mixture cool to room temperature.
Place strawberries in baked pie shells; position berries with points facing up. Pour cooled gel mixture over strawberries.
Refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
I am making this for a party soon and I'll post a pic.
