Fresh Strawberry Pie
My no-bake, delicious Fresh Strawberry Pie has sweet strawberries tossed in a simple strawberry glaze and piled into a graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Fresh Strawberries
- 1 Cup White Granulated Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 Cup Water
- 4 Tablespoons Strawberry Jell-O Mix
- 1 9-inch Graham Cracker Crust or Baked Pie Crust
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberries. Wash and hull the strawberries. Spread the berries on paper towels and pat them until dry. Cut the large berries into quarters and halve the medium-sized berries. Any small berries can be left whole or simply slice all of the strawberries.1 Pound Fresh Strawberries
- Make the Glaze. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the water and bring it to a full boil and boil for two minutes. Add the strawberry Jell-O and stir well. Remove from heat and let the glaze cool for 10 minutes.1 Cup White Granulated Sugar, 2 Tablespoons Cornstarch, 1 Cup Water, 4 Tablespoons Strawberry Jell-O Mix

Notes
My Top Tips
♡ Always wash the strawberries before hulling them to prevent dirt from getting inside the berry.
♡ Drying the strawberries after washing them keeps the pie from becoming soggy.
♡ A graham cracker or cookie crust is less likely to get soggy.
♡ Letting the glaze cool before adding the strawberries will give the freshest flavor. Ten minutes is the minimum time to have the glaze cool, but you can let it cool for up to 30 minutes before the glaze becomes too sticky.
♡ Every pie will come out a little bit different depending on how ripe and juicy the strawberries are.
Make-Ahead & Storage
Make-Ahead. Because this pie uses fresh berries, it should be made on the same day it is served.
Storage. The fresh berries will release their juices while the pie is stored which means leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for only up to one day and still be served as a slice. After two days, the pie might not look as appealing, but you can still serve it in bowls with whipped cream, and it will still be delicious.
Freezing. This pie can not be frozen due to its fresh nature.
