This Big Boy’s Fresh Strawberry Pie recipe sounds absolutely delicious and perfect for a refreshing dessert! Here’s a more detailed breakdown to make it easy to follow:
Big Boy’s Fresh Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jelly
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pie Crust
- Bake the frozen pie crust according to package directions until golden brown.
- Let it cool completely, about 30 minutes, to ensure it’s ready for the filling.
- Make the Strawberry Glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes clear.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the strawberry jelly until fully dissolved. Allow the glaze to cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the Pie
- Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly in the cooled pie crust.
- Pour the cooled strawberry glaze over the strawberries, ensuring they are well coated and the glaze fills in any gaps.
- Chill the Pie
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until the glaze is fully set.
- Serve and Enjoy!
- Slice and serve chilled for a fresh, fruity treat. This pie pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream on top if you’d like!
Tips
- For Extra Flavor: Try adding a teaspoon of lemon juice to the glaze to brighten the flavor.
- Variation: Use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust for a slightly different texture.
This pie is a fantastic way to enjoy fresh strawberries, and it’s always a hit! Enjoy!
