As you can probably tell, I have a major case of "Cabin Fever"! I am tired of below zero, wet, ice, snow, slush, brown grass, no leaves, no flowers, and on and on. But the thing I am tired of the most ~ feeling cold all the time. YUCK!!! I live in the wrong state. Paula ~ I have to come visit soon! I get like this every year in February and one of the things that helps me get through it ~ is making a FRESH Strawberry Pie. It was my mom's recipe and it's super YUMMY! I always make 2 of them ~ one for our family and one for my girlfriend Jenn for her birthday ~ which is today. Happy Birthday Jenn! Eventhough I'm trying to be super good about what I eat right now, I am still going to enjoy a piece or two of this wonderful summer treat. Oh yea, the matching strawberry card was for Jenn too.So what do you do to beat the winter blues? I'd love to hear about it.
Fresh Strawberry Pie
1 ~ 3 oz. pkg strawberry Jello
1 c. Sugar
3 T. Cornstarch
1 c. water
1 lb. fresh strawberries (set 3 or 4 whole berries aside)
Bake a pie shell and let it cool completely. Wash and cut strawberries into bite-sized pieces & pour them into the pie shell. Set aside. In a medium sauce pan, combine Jello, water, cornstarch and sugar. Over medium heat, stir until thick. Let cool 10 minutes. Pour over strawberries and refridgerate. Once the pie is set, top with 1/2 container of Cool Whip & whole berries. ~~ ENJOY!

ReplyDeleteI have this recipe saved...I'm not a huge pie person but Ilove strawberries..I wonder if there's anyway I could substitute the pie crust. But the filling reminds me of my grandmas strawberries in cream!
Oh, and I need a set of those stamps...they remind me of the cute wild strawberries that grow in the woods here.
