Number Of Ingredients 13

FILLING:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter
3 tablespoons canola oil
4 to 5 tablespoons buttermilk
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup cold water
1 package (.3-ounce) sugar-free strawberry gelatin
4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup reduced-fat whipped topping

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add oil, then buttermilk, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Between two sheets of lightly floured waxed paper, roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate; trim to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate. Flute edges. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes.

For filling, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Let stand for 15 minutes. Place strawberries in a large bowl. Add gelatin mixture; gently toss to coat. Pour into crust. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until set. Garnish with whipped topping. Yield: 8 servings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries. Pick strawberries that are bright red, plump, and have no bruises or blemishes. Fresh strawberries will have the best flavor and texture in your pie.
  • Macerate the strawberries with sugar. This helps to draw out the juices and flavors of the strawberries, resulting in a more flavorful pie. You can macerate the strawberries for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Use a flaky pie crust. A flaky pie crust will help to create a light and airy pie that is perfect for summer. You can use a store-bought pie crust or make your own.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. The filling should come up to the top of the crust, but it should not be overflowing. If you overfill the pie crust, the filling will bubble out and make a mess.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The baking time will vary depending on the size of your pie, but it will typically take between 45 minutes and 1 hour.
  • Let the pie cool before serving. This will help the pie to set and the filling to thicken.

Conclusion:

Grandma's strawberry pie is a classic summer dessert that is easy to make and always a hit. With its flaky crust, sweet and juicy filling, and fresh strawberry flavor, this pie is sure to be a favorite of everyone who tries it. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
