Ingredients
1 Pie Crust, premade or fresh made
1 ¼ cup sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
1 ¼ cup water
3 tbsp strawberry jelly
2 cups sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the package (or recipe) for your pie crust. Bake according to the directions, then set aside to cool completely (at least 30 minutes).
- Make the Strawberry Glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.
- Add the Jelly: Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry jelly until melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Pie: Once the crust is completely cooled, arrange the sliced strawberries evenly inside the shell.
- Add the Glaze: Pour the cooled glaze over the strawberries, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the pie for 2–3 hours until the glaze is set. Garnish with whipped topping and a fresh strawberry slice before serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Try using different fruit like blueberries, raspberries, or mixed berries for variation.
- Substitute strawberry jelly with raspberry or apricot jelly for a different glaze flavor.
- Use a graham cracker or cookie crust for a unique twist.
- For a dairy-free version, omit whipped topping or use coconut whipped cream.
- Layer sliced bananas or a cream cheese layer under the strawberries for added flavor.
