Strawberry Pie with Jello 

I admit that I am not a huge dessert person. I don’t have a big sweet tooth like the rest of my family.  My kid’s love of ice cream definitely comes from their dad.  I can easily pass on a piece of cake. Doughnuts and muffins are another sweet treats that I can walk away from. Pie, though, now that is an altogether different experience for me. I especially love a pie that has delicious fruit inside. That’s why, when I saw this award-winning strawberry pie, I was all in.

To make this recipe you’ll need a pie crust that is baked. I used a super easy pie crust recipe that is no roll. 

Do you cut strawberries for a strawberry pie? 

• You’ll typically need to rinse the strawberries, cut the stem off, and slice the strawberries. This recipe, however, uses strawberries that do not need to be sliced

You can make…

• strawberry jam
•  fruit salsa 
• smoothies
