Strawberry Pie

Great Grandma's version

Makes 2 pies.

• 1 C sugar
• 3 T cornstarch
• 3 T light corn syrup or honey 
• 1 C water
• Smidge of salt
• 1 package strawberry Jello
• 3 pints strawberries
• 
  
• 
  
• Mix first four ingredients (all but jello and berries) 
• together in small sauce pan and bring to boil.  
• Stirring, boil about one minute.  
• Off heat add jello and mix well.  
• Let cool to close to room temperature.  
• Add to washed and trimmed berries.
• (you can slice them or even leave them whole)  
• Dump on into pie shells and put in the fridge.  
• They set in about an hour... 
• or pop one in the freezer and it sets in about 15-20 minutes.
• 
  
• She made her own pie shells... 
• but I am not at that place in my cooking life where I feel confident enough to make something like that.  
• Her recipe for pie crust includes the line 
• "add flour until the dough feels right"  - ???  
• 
  
• Also, a disclaimer... 
• She gave me this recipe over the phone 
• and every measurement had the word "about" in front of it...
• 
  
• and smidge is her word... and I like it.

Linking recipe with Kristance.
