The Best Strawberry Pie Recipe

The picture above is right after boiling and adding the powder jello. It starts to get really thick. Below is when I added this mixture to the pie. I should have had more strawberries in the pie, but some of our strawberries were bad and I couldn’t use them. So, yes it does normally have more strawberries! Once the pie has been in the refrigerator overnight it should be harder and squishy like jello. If it’s runny, you didn’t add enough jello or it hasn’t been in the fridge long enough. Make your pie and while you are waiting for it in the fridge, why not enter to win some giveaways! Enjoy!

    This sounds delicious and yummy – and so easy to make. I think my husband will love it too. I wonder if it would work with other fruit/jello flavors….

    The best time of the year to use your strawberries is in the summer & they are very affordable now. I really like strawberry pie but I never ever make it. Going to give it a try though using this recipe.

    We love to eat strawberry pie. We freeze the strawberries in the summer so we have the fresh taste of strawberries in the winter to enjoy too.
