Fresh Strawberry Pie Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Fresh Strawberry Pie Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (205°C). This is the perfect temperature to get that pie crust nice and golden. Next, line your pie crust with a double layer of aluminum foil, and fill it with pie weights or dried beans to keep it from puffing up while baking. Pop it into the oven and let it bake until the edges are beautifully golden, which should take about 10 minutes. After that, carefully remove the foil and weights, and let it bake for an additional 5 minutes until the crust is set. Once done, allow the crust to cool completely – this is crucial for a perfect pie!

2. Step 2

   In a saucepan, combine the water and pureed strawberries, bringing them to a gentle boil. As the mixture heats up, stir in the sugar, strawberry gelatin, cornstarch, and salt. Keep stirring for about 2 to 3 minutes until everything is well dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly. This fragrant concoction is the heart of your pie!

3. Step 3

   Now, it’s time to assemble your masterpiece. Arrange the fresh strawberries in the cooled pie crust, making sure they look inviting and colorful. Pour the gelatin mixture over the strawberries, ensuring they are all beautifully coated. Cover the pie and place it in the refrigerator to chill until the gelatin is set, which could take a few hours or even overnight for the best results. The anticipation will be worth it!
