I’ve been craving strawberry pie. I mix the strawberries with the container of strawberry glaze and toss that in a pie crust with whipped cream. Never been a big fan of the gelatin route.
Oh that’s a good idea!
Thanks for the idea, I’ll have to try the strawberry glaze. I don’t use gelatin at all especially knowing where it comes from.
I agree. I don’t use gelatin ever.
Great recipe, used it for many years. It’s very close to the Shoney’s strawberry pie of the 80’s.
Awesome! We love it
That is how Europeans eat it but not the pie crust. It is usually on a cake like a sponge or bisquit.
Looks pretty easy. I think I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks Anna! Enjoy 😀
Yum! Thanks!!
This is similar to a cake my mom used to make except it was angle food cake instead of pie. I loved it so much I asked for it instead or birthday cake one year. Thanks for the memory, I’ll have to find the recipe – my daughter would love it. I’ve has something similar with a crushed pretzel crust../
Oh wow! That sounds great! 😀
Sounds awesome! I can’t wait to try this one!
I’ve made this before–easy and delicious!
Didn’t have gelatin. So, I added diced strawberries to the corn starch and sugar, bringing it to a smimmer for 2 minutes. PERFECT!
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing Lisa 😀
Is it possible to use frozen strawberries for this?
Yes I’m sure you could 👍
