Servings: 6-8 people

Ingredients:

1 frozen pie crust

1 ¼ cups sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 ¼ cups water

3 tablespoons strawberry jelly

Instructions:

Prepare the Pie Crust:

Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the frozen pie crust packaging.

Bake the pie crust according to the directions, typically for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown. Set aside to cool completely.

Make the Strawberry Filling:

In a saucepan, combine the sugar and cornstarch. Gradually add the water while stirring until the mixture is smooth.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes).

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the strawberry jelly until it’s fully melted and combined.

Assemble the Pie:

Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then slice them into halves or quarters depending on your preference.

Arrange the sliced strawberries in the cooled pie crust.

Add the Glaze:

Pour the strawberry jelly mixture evenly over the arranged strawberries. Use a spoon to gently spread it to cover all the berries.

Chill:

Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set properly.

Serve:

Once chilled, slice and serve! Optional: Top with whipped cream or a dollop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
