Strawberry Pie

This is a nice simple strawberry pie recipe. The crust is easy to make and doesn't need to be rolled out! This does take 4-5 hours to set, so plan ahead!

Here's what you will need:

4 cups Strawberries
1 box Strawberry Junket
1 cup Flour
1 stick Margarine
2 T. Sugar


Start by combining the flour, sugar and margarine in a food processor (or by hand). Pulse until the mixture is crumbled, and pour into pie plate.


Loosely pat the mixture down with your hands to the shape of the plate.


Bake crust at 325* for 15-20 min or until golden brown. Then set aside, and slice the strawberries.

Once all of the strawberries are sliced, cook the Strawberry Junket while following the "Pie Glaze" recipe on the back of the package. It will start out neon pink like this:


As it nears a boil, it will get much darker, and end up like this:


Let the glaze cool slightly, and then fold in the sliced strawberries. Pour the strawberries and glaze into the crust, and refrigerate until the glaze is fully set. Serve and enjoy!
