I enjoyed this recipe but would cut back the sugar a bit next time for our tastes. I have a hard time serving strawberry pie in neat slices so I made individual round crusts and placed in bottom of serving glasses. I then topped with the strawberry mixture and topped with whipped cream. This was a really cute individual dessert.

Whole family ejoyed this a lot. Didnt have strawberry gelatin, used raspberry instead. Yum. Followed others' idea, and put a layer of cream cheese between the crust and filling. Such a good idea!

I wasn't crazy about this recipe. I didn't make a pie out of it, cause I was just experimenting with it, I just made the sauce and put the strawberries into it and put it in the frige. It was really too thick once refrigerated. It may have been ok if left at room temperature, but I don't know cause it was late and I put in the frige while it was still a little bit warm.. And to me, it was too sweet. But that may depend on the ripeness of your berries. Mine were really ripe. Maybe, if I add a little less cornstarch and less sugar, it would be ok.. another suggestion is to run a few berries in a blender and add to the sauce to make it taste less like artificial strawberry flavor from the jello, and more like real strawberry flavor. Overall, this recipe was ok at best... it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't wonderful either..

I followed the recipe to the letter except I added extra strawberries so that the pie would be piled high. I gotta say that I am glad that I did because it was way to SWEET! Everything else was fine though except I think next time I will use half the sugar and try raspberry jello instead and slice the strawberries because eating whole strawberries was a bit of a mouthful, especially for my kids.

Yummy yummy yummy! I thought it was a great pie. I cut down on sugar because my strawberries were so sweet already and I didn't want the pie to be too sweet. Still a great recipe. :)

This tasted O.K. I cooked mixture longer than it says but it still was not the firmer consistency I wanted.

yummy pie, although I made 2 pies at once and there was not enough glaze for both. I made extra glaze for them. very delicious, tasted just as good as one of the pies you buy in the restaurants. will definitely make again!

Not at all what I thought it would be. Three tablespoons is a lot of gelatin! It was more like strawberry Jello with strawberries in a crust. Tasty, but, I definitely would not make it again.

I used a purchased graham cracker crust that I had on hand, as I didn't have the time to make and bake a real pie crust but needed to use up fresh strawberries. Big mistake! Next time I'll make a homemade pie crust and this will be excellent. I cut the sugar back to 3/4 cup, and I cut the strawberries in halves or quarters. Served with whipped cream on top. Because of the type of crust, it broke apart while serving, but it tasted good. My bad on the crust! Thanks for the recipe!

Amazing, delicious pie! While pregnant I was craving Marie Calendar's fresh strawberry pie. I finally decided on this recipe after reviewing tons of others and i'm glad I did!! Now i've made this pie about 5 times in 6 weeks, it's yummy. My strawberries have been ripe so I use about 3/4 c. Sugar. Also omitted salt after first pie. Had to substitute berry jello on 3rd pie and it tasted amazing too! Only thing is noticed is gets a little soggy after 24 hours
