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.
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!
