This might be one of the nostalgic yummy pies I have ever made. When I was little I would go to Marie Calender Pies for brunch after church on Sundays. I would always order a slice of strawberry pie. This recipe is the closest thing I have found that brings back that strawberry and whipped cream goodness!

Ingredients:

2 lbs Strawberries

2 tbsp Cornstarch

1 cup Granulated sugar

1 Graham cracker crust( or my gluten free crust)

1 package Strawberry jello

1 cup Water

Optional (whipped cream for topping)

Directions:

To make the glaze, add the sugar, corn starch, and one cup of water to a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and is the consistency of syrup. This takes about three to four minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the jello, and stir until completely dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool for about 30 minutes.
While the glaze cools, rinse and dry the strawberries with a paper towel. Remove the stem and leaves and slice the small berries in half and the larger ones into quarters.
Add the strawberries to the graham cracker pie crust and spread them evenly.
Pour the strawberry glaze evenly over the strawberries. Cover the pie and chill in the refrigerator for two to three hours to allow the glaze to firm up.

Garnish with whipped cream before serving.
