Becky's Strawberry Pie

This pie quickly became a family staple after Becky made it at a family get together. It may seem like a summer pie only, but no siree bob - we make this for every holiday under the sun. This is hands down my kid's favorite pie, it even pushed the beloved chocolate cream out of first place!

This needs fresh fruit, not frozen, so it can cost more to make in the offseason, but we think it's worth every penny! My mother in law once made it with fresh peaches instead of strawberries (leaving everything else the same). It was AMAZING!

Let me know in the comments below if your family loves this as much as mine! Thanks for the recipe, Becky.

Let's Get Started!

2. Whisk together sugar and cornstarch in a small pot.

3. Add water and bring to a boil, whisking constantly until thickened.

4. Remove from heat and add jello powder and lemon juice.

9. Top with whipped cream or whipped topping. 

Enjoy!
