Time 30m

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9 inch) baked pie crusts
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
3 ounces cream cheese
1 1/2 quarts strawberries
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons karo white corn syrup
1 cup water
3 tablespoons jell-o strawberry gelatin
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cook sugar, syrup, water, salt, and cornstarch over medium heat until thick.
  • Add Jello mix and cool.
  • Pour glaze over berries and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. If you don't have fresh strawberries, you can use frozen strawberries that have been thawed and drained.
  • To make sure the pie crust is flaky, use cold butter and ice water. You can also chill the pie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don't overmix the cream cheese filling. Overmixing can cause the filling to become dense and crumbly.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. The pie should be slightly jiggly in the center when you take it out of the oven.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
