Recipe: Strawberry Pie

This sweet and simple pie is great for a dinner dessert, a family picnic, or (and we promise we won't tell) a delicious snack just 'cause.

INGREDIENTS
For the crust
1 ½ c     Flour
½ tsp    Salt
2 Tbs    Sugar
½ c        Oil
2 Tbs    Milk

For the filling
1 lb       Fresh Strawberries (sliced)
1 c         Sugar
3 Tbs    Cornstarch
1 c         Water
3 Tbs    Strawberry Jell-O
2 Tbs    Corn Syrup

INSTRUCTIONS
For the crust
Combine all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Pat mixture into the bottom of a pie pan to form the crust. Bake at 350° until crust is golden brown. Cool before adding filling. 

For the filling
Layer berries in the pie crust until full (about 1 lb).

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and cornstarch into a small saucepan. Stir to combine. Add water and simmer until liquid begins to thicken. Add the Jello-O and corn syrup. Cook for a few minutes more until sauce is fully combined and thickened. 

Remove from heat and pour mixture over berries. Cool the pie in fridge until fully chilled and thickened.

AND THE BEST STEP....Enjoy!
