Copycat Shoney’s Strawberry Pie
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 6 tablespoons strawberry Jello
- 1 pound strawberries cleaned, steam removed, and left whole
- 1 9-inch deep-dish pie crust baked
Instructions
- Blend sugar, cornstarch, and water together in a medium-sized pot over medium heat.

- Add Strawberry Jello to the glaze and stir to combine.
- Place drained whole fresh strawberries into a baked deep-dish 9-inch pie shell.
- Pour cooked mixture over berries. Chill 2 hours at least.
- Top with Cool Whip if desired.

Notes
- Make the pie more like Shoney’s by piling the strawberries up very tall into the pie shell
