Recipe of the Week - Strawberry Pie!

Strawberry Pie 

Strawberries are coming into season right now.  How many of you remember Shoney's Fresh Strawberry Pie? This is the recipe.  It is a no fail pie.

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

3 T cornstarch

3 T Strawberry Jello 

Mix all ingredients, and cook 1 minute.  Make sure everything is dissolved.

Cool but do not let set (gel).

Pour over 1 pint of fresh strawberries that have been arranged in a sweet baked crust. 

To be truthful, I used to make the following pie crust recipe, but now, I would probably use a Pillsbury's Roll Out Crust.

CRUST

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp salt

1 T sugar

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 egg yolk

2 T milk

Mix until you can roll into a crust.

Enjoy!
