Strawberry pie with jello
Nothing says “summer” quite like fresh strawberries. We have made it an annual early summer tradition to go out and pick strawberries, and our favorite thing to make when we return home is…. pie!
Sharing my grandma’s recipe for fresh summer strawberry pie with gelatin and a classic pastry crust
Last year I shared a mason jar twist on my maternal grandmother’s strawberry pie, so this year I pulled out my paternal grandmother’s recipe. We called her “Nanny,” and I remember eating this pie often as a child.
This recipe makes *plenty* of gelatin filling, so don’t feel like you need to use it all.
