Notes
- Be sure to use fresh berries. Frozen strawberries won't taste as good and may make the pie too watery.
- This recipe makes one 9-inch pie. You can double the recipe to make more pies.
- To make this more like Shoney's strawberry pie, use whole strawberries that have been cored and a frozen pie crust or a refrigerated pie crust. Just be sure to blind-bake the crust before using it.
- Blind baking is baking a pie crust without any filling in it. To blind bake, preheat your oven to 425 F. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line it with parchment paper. Fill the crust with beans or pie weights (or anything that will weigh down the crust). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Take the pie crust out of the oven and let it cool. Remove the pie weights or beans and parchment paper before using the crust.
- Another pie crust that would work well in this recipe is a 9-inch shortbread pie crust. You can also use miniature pie crusts to make individual pies.
- When it comes to gelatin, I recommend that you use regular strawberry gelatin, like Strawberry Jell-o.
