The first time I had a slice of Strawberry Pie was in the Southern state of Florida and I fell in love with it instantly!

Being a huge strawberry fan, this pie mounded high with fresh strawberries, a thick glaze, all piled high with an all-homemade flaky crust was irresistible in every bite.

The pie is really easy to make consisting of pie crust, fresh strawberries, and a sweet thickened strawberry jello glaze that clings to each juicy berry.

This pie is made from scratch or a few shortcuts we will suggest for busy folks for alternatives for a quicker dessert by using all store-bought ingredients, either way, this pie is a winner.

Our recipe is all made with a homemade pie crust, and homemade glaze, and topped with whipped heavy cream which I prefer but is totally optional.

We love it homemade and it certainly celebrates the season and is perfect for the Patriotic holidays all dressed up with the addition of blueberries.

How Do You Make A Fresh Strawberry Pie?

First of all, you can bake the pie crust from a homemade scratch recipe or purchase a deep dish frozen pie shell, it's all your preference
The glaze is made from scratch using a package of jello, cornstarch, sugar, and water and takes just around 1 minute to form on the stovetop
If you're in a real hurry you can use warmed strawberry preserves (it won't be as or so glossy however but will taste great)
Only use fresh firm strawberries (they can be left whole but I slice the whole ones in half because it's much easier to cut and eat
Cooling the pie crust after baking is a must.
Whip the heavy cream or use a topping you prefer on top of your pie
You can garnish the pie with slices of strawberries or leave it plain
Refrigerate until ready to use your pie uncovered
Store any leftover pie in a sealed container for up to 2 days
What's the alternative? A frozen pie crust, fresh strawberries, warmed strawberry jam, and whipped cream all store-bought
You may also like to get fancy and make some chocolate-covered strawberries for garnishing
Tools Need: electric mixer if making homemade whipped cream, bowl, spoon, small saucepan, deep dish pie plate, knife for slicing, a fork to crimp edges on pie (or use your fingers to make a nice edging), rolling pin and mat for pie crust, optional pie carrier for storage

Shopping List for Fresh Strawberry Pie(the recipe card is printable below with all information)

strawberries fresh: make sure these are firm and ripe and not mushy and soft
cornstarch: this can be found in the supermarket in the baking section it is a thickener
sugar: although you can use granulated sugar, sugar substitutes can be used
strawberry jello: any brand will be fine to use (small box)
water
pie crust: you will need a deep dish pie plate to make this pie as it's very high or a frozen deep dish pie crust (our > Apple Pie homemade crust recipe <)
heavy cream: this is for garnishing the top and needs to be whipped (or you can use another topping you prefer already made)

Substitutions and Suggestions

sugar substitutes can be used in the glaze
make a gluten-free crust if you have an allergy to flour
in a pinch use warmed strawberry preserves to glaze the strawberries there are also sugar-free jams, jellies, and preserves available
other fruits can be substituted, just coordinate the jello to match the fruit you're using when making the glaze
for best results when making homemade whipped cream from heavy cream, chill the bowl and beaters first

Making Homemade Pie Crust Tips

do not overmix the dough it will become tough to roll out
use very cold water (I add ice to the water to get it really cold)
make sure you cut the shortening into the flour first evenly by using a pastry cutter or fork until it looks like coarse crumbs
use a dusting of flour when rolling out the dough with a rolling mat
