# Fresh Strawberry Pie

## Ingredients

### Crust
- 1 baked 9" pie shell, cooled

### Filling
- 1 lb (1 quart) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
*(or 1 package frozen strawberries, thawed and drained)*

### Glaze
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/2 package strawberry Jello (approximately 1 1/2 Tbsp)
- 1 cup water or reserved strawberry juice (see Editor's Notes)

## Instructions

1. Bake pie shell and cool completely.
2. Arrange fresh strawberries evenly in the cooled pie shell.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk together sugar, flour, and water or juice until smooth.
4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil — approximately 5 to 8 minutes.
5. Remove from heat and stir in strawberry Jello until fully dissolved.
6. Cool glaze until thickened but still pourable, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
7. Pour cooled glaze evenly over berries in the pie shell.
8. Refrigerate until fully set, at least 2 hours, before serving.

## Editor's Notes

- **Strawberry quantity** not specified on original card; 1 lb (1 quart) fresh strawberries inferred from standard 9" pie volume and the glaze quantity — 2/3 cup sugar and 1/2 package Jello is calibrated for approximately this amount of fruit. Confirmed by the frozen berry alternate option, which was typically sold in 10 to 16 oz packages.
- **Glaze liquid** entirely absent from original card — cooking the sugar, flour, and Jello with liquid is the implied missing step. 1 cup water is the standard reconstruction; juice drained from thawed frozen berries (if using the alternate) adds flavor.
