Strawberry Pie without Jell-O®

  5.0 – 1 reviews  • Strawberry Pie Recipes

This dry rub recipe was modified from a cajun rub recipe I found. In its stead, brown sugar and a few extra flavorful spices are used in place of the reduced amount of salt. It should work nicely with chicken and pig as well as a 12- to 16-pound turkey.

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Additional Time: 3 hrs
Total Time: 3 hrs 25 mins
Servings: 8
Yield: 1 9-inch pie

Ingredients

  1. 2 pounds fresh strawberries
  2. ¾ cup white sugar
  3. ¾ cup water
  4. 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  5. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  6. 1 (9 inch) deep-dish graham cracker pie crust
  7. 1 (8 ounce) tub whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)

Instructions

  1. Slice 3/4 of the strawberries and place in a bowl.
  2. Puree remaining strawberries in a food processor until smooth and transfer to a saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar, water, cornstarch, and lemon juice and bring to a boil, stirring often, about 5 minutes. Stir continuously until as thick as jam, about 5 minutes more. Pour mixture over sliced strawberries in the bowl and stir to combine filling.
  3. Pour filling into pie shell and refrigerate until set, about 3 hours. Slice and serve with a dollop of whipped topping.
  4. Feel free to use a plain deep-dish pie crust. You can use whipped cream in place of whipped topping.
  5. You can add a few drops of red food coloring to the pureed strawberries to get a more vibrant red color for your pie.
