Simple Strawberry Pie

strawberried

My mom has been making this simple, refreshing strawberry pie since I was a kid, and it’s absolutely one of my favorites. My kids now request it often, as well. It’s cold, refreshing, and I just feel “Summer is Here!” when I bite into it. I thought since today, Memorial Day, is the unofficial start of summer that it was the perfect time to share this delightful summer treat with you, our dear readers.

Simple Strawberry Pie

Start with 1-2 pints of fresh strawberries and pre-made pie crust. If you need a super simple pie crust, check out Aunt Kay’s {3 Ingredient Pie Crust}.   

Make the simple filling using strawberry jello, cornstarch, and sugar and arrange sliced strawberries over crust.

Chill until set and enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day, and Happy Summer!
