👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

• Bake your 9-inch pie crust according to package or recipe directions. Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

1. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, and cornstarch.

2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened and clear.

3. Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry Jell-O powder until dissolved.

4. Let the glaze cool to lukewarm (not hot, or it will cook the berries).

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

1. Arrange the fresh strawberries in the cooled pie crust, mound them slightly in the center.

2. Pour the cooled glaze evenly over the strawberries.

3. Refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or until set.

Step 4: Serve

• Top slices with whipped cream just before serving.

✅ Pro Tips:

• Use ripe, sweet strawberries for best flavor.

• Let the glaze cool slightly before pouring to avoid a soggy crust.

• For extra shine and color, lightly brush the top with more glaze after setting.
