Janet Strawberry Pie Recipe

Step 2: Make the Glaze

In a medium saucepan, mix sugar and cornstarch together.
Gradually whisk in the water until smooth.
Place the saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and becomes translucent (about 5–7 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in the strawberry gelatin until fully dissolved.
Let the glaze cool slightly but not solidify — it should still be pourable.

Step 3: Assemble the Pie

Arrange the halved strawberries cut-side down in the cooled pie shell. Pack them snugly for best presentation.
Carefully pour the slightly cooled glaze over the strawberries, using a spatula to help spread it evenly and fill all the gaps.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 3–4 hours, or until the glaze is fully set.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Once chilled and firm, slice the pie with a sharp knife.
Serve with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing finish.

👩‍🍳 Tips for Success

Choose ripe, firm strawberries for best texture and flavor.
For an extra burst of freshness, try adding a splash of lemon juice or zest to the glaze.
This pie is best enjoyed within 2 days — store it in the refrigerator, loosely covered.
Add a thin layer of melted chocolate or cream cheese on the crust before adding the strawberries for a flavor twist.
