Notes
- Use red, fully ripened strawberries that are full of flavor. The main flavor of your pie will come from your strawberries, so it's important to choose the best ones you can.
- It's important to use cold or cool water, as the corn starch will dissolve much more easily.
- Using corn starch helps thicken the strawberry glaze. We use corn starch instead of jello to give it a real strawberry taste.
- Store in the refrigerator and eat within 3 days for the best taste and texture.
- We do not recommend freezing this pie.
