Moms Strawberry Pie Recipes

Steps:

• STRAWBERRY TOPPING.
• Wash and halve strawberries.
• Whisk together the sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium saucepan.
• Add the water, lemon juice and red food coloring. Cook over medium high heat until the mixture starts to thicken, stirring frequently.
• Add half of the strawberries and cook until mixture is thickened.
• Add remaining strawberries and remove from heat.
• Cool completely before putting on top of cream filling in pie shell.
• CREAM FILLING.
• While strawberry filling cools, whip the whipping cream.
• In separate bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt.
• Fold in the whipped cream and spread in the bottom of the cooled pie shell.
• Once the strawberry filling has cooled, gently put it on top of the cream filling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate. Trim edge. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil or parchment. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack., In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate until slightly cooled, 15-20 minutes., Meanwhile, arrange strawberries in the crust. Pour gelatin mixture over berries. Refrigerate until set. If desired, serve with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Bake 9" pie shell according to it's directions and allow to cool.
• Clean and cut strawberries. Pour into pie shell.
• On the stovetop, cook the water, sugar (or Splenda), and cornstarch until thick. Cornstarch will lump as it heats and thickens so be attentive with a whisk. Add strawberry jello mix (the powder, not pre-made jello) and combine thoroughly. Allow to cool but not gel.
• Pour jello mixture over strawberries and refrigerate until fully gelled.
• Personally, I like it best if you pour the jello mixture over strawberries and allow to gel without chilling the strawberries. I think it takes away from the flavor when the berries get too cold.
