When I was little, I remember stopping at Shoney’s for a fresh strawberry pie. We would get them for a special occasion or for a summer family cookout.

Over the years, there aren’t as many Shoney’s around anymore, but after some trial and error, I think I have come pretty close to recreating that pie I enjoyed as a kiddo.

Now, I make this pie for my family for our special occasions and BBQ’s.

YOU WILL NEED:

For 1 pie:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups Strawberries
• 1 deep dish Pie Crust
• 1 -3 oz box Strawberry Jell-O
• 2 1/2 tbsp Cornstarch
• 1 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1 1/2 cup Water
• Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook pie crust according to package instructions and let cool.
2. While the crust is cooking, slice strawberries.
3. Once crust is cool, layer the sliced strawberries evenly on the bottom. 
4. In a saucepan, add water, sugar and cornstarch and bring to a boil.
5. Simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened then remove from heat, add Jell-O and stir until dissolved.
6. Pour the jello mixture over the strawberries.
7. Refrigerate until set.
8. Slice and serve with whipped cream. 
   

I hope you enjoy this pie as much as my family and I do.
