Ingredients
Scale
Pie Crust
- 1 frozen pie crust
Filling
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 3 tbsp strawberry jelly
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Bake the Pie Crust: Bake the frozen pie crust according to the package directions. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
- Add Strawberry Jelly: Whisk in the strawberry jelly, remove from heat, and set aside to cool.
- Assemble the Pie: Place the sliced strawberries into the cooled pie crust. Pour the cooled strawberry jelly mixture over the strawberries.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for a few hours until it has fully set.

Notes
- Make sure the pie crust is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- For a glossier finish, you can brush a little extra strawberry jelly on top before chilling.
- If fresh strawberries are not available, frozen strawberries can be used but should be thawed and drained well.
- Chilling the pie for at least 3 hours ensures the filling sets properly for clean slicing.
- This pie is best served within 2 days of making for optimal freshness.
