This was a really great fresh tasting strawberry pie. I was looking for one that used the natural flavors of the strawberry and not one that added jello to it. I made this the night before and my only complaint was that when I went to serve it the next day, the bottom crust was soggy. When I make this again, I will mix the gel with the strawberries and put it in the fridge and then put it over the crust about an hour before serving. This is my new favorite strawberry pie recipe.

Thank you for reminding me of the real strawberry pie recipe. I made it with homemade crust too. I have been using the store bought strawberry glaze and had forgotten how delicious the real recipe tastes. Now that my family knows the difference, this is the recipe they want.
