Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
Crust and Filling
- 1 (8 inch) pie shell, baked and cooled or a ready-made Graham shell
- 1/3 cup chocolate or white chips (if using ready-made Graham shell)
- 1 pint large fresh ripe strawberries, washed, capped, well drained
Glaze
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup 7-Up
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch or arrowroot
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon red food coloring
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4 tablespoons cranberry gelatin
Instructions
Crust and Filling
- If using a pre-made crumb pie crust, melt 1/3 cup chocolate morsels per pie; with small slanted cake spatula, spread a thin coat of chocolate in bottom only, of pie shell. Apply chocolate in a circular motion making sure you cover the complete bottom
of shell. This prevents the crumb crust from breaking up when you slice the pie.
- Place strawberries in pie shell, flat side down.
Glaze
- Mix and bring to boil all ingredients except cornstarch or arrowroot. Add cornstarch or arrowroot after mixture reaches boil. Cook until thick.
- Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin. Stir until dissolved. Let cool.
- Spoon glaze over fresh strawberries in pie shell.
- Completely cool then chill in refrigerator overnight.
- Just before serving, decorate the outer edge of the pie with whipped cream or Cool Whip.
