My 92 year young Mom has had this Fresh Strawberry Pie recipie for as long as I can remember and it is always good. As the binder for the 2 quarts of fresh berries you use 1 family size pkg. of strawberry jelllo, 4 Tbs. of cornstarch, 2 cups of sugar, and 3 Cups of water. Bring to boil for 3 min. cool to room temp and add fresh sliced berries.
Yesterday I decided to make her one as a surprise but instead of the cornstarch I used the Pie Enhanser, and only 3/4 cup sugar. OH MY GOODNESS. I tasted the mixture while it was cooling, and I could hardly wait for the crust to bake so I could put it all together and eat it. Believe me I was not disappointed. I could have entered this pie in a contest and have won hands down. Momma said that it tasted better than hers. This was my first time for using the Pie Enhanser, and I just love it. The jel was clear and bright red, the ascorbic acid livened up the taste to wonderful. To be honest I ate 2 pieces last night and don't feel guilty at all.
