Just made this for my husband's birthday. It was very good. I put the strawberry/jello mixture in the fridge to set up a bit before I poured it in the pie crust. It only took about 15 minutes to gel up. -
Oh my goodness, this was delicious. I didn't have quite enough stawberries (a little mouse must of gotten into my refrigerator...lol) but it was still wonderful. This is such a simple pie. I plan on making this again soon as the strawberry season is nearing. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. -
Excellent strawberry pie! It set up really well and tasted much better than store-bought glaze. I used cherry jello, but no one could tell the difference. -
FAN-TAS-TIC!!!! wouldn't change a thing and will be making this again in the NEAR future. -
Makes a beautiful pie which everyone loved. With gorgeous red sliced strawberries, this pie sets up nicely and looks beautiful, perfect when sliced and served with whipped cream. I usually make a pie without jello which doesn't set up nearly as well or look as pretty. However didn't care for the gelatin texture with strawberries. I must be particular in my tastes cause everyone else loved it. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

I use: 2 Cups Water 1 Cup Sugar 4 Tablespoons Cornstarch I dont add the gelatin until after the other glaze ingredients are well heated. My pie comes out with a much more solid gel. -
Excellent, light and flavorfull finish to a heavy meal.I've made a similar recipe before but had lost the recipe years ago.Instead of a pie crust I used frozen prepared tart shells. Once everything was set and well chilled I used a canned whipping cream to garnish each tart. They were a beautiful addition to a tray that included individual carrot cakes and chocolate dipped strawberries. Thnkas for the inspiration!

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
