This tasted great and was so beautiful. I bought huge strawberries and filled the crust with them first, standing them up; then, I filled in the "cracks" with sliced strawberries. Just too pretty and just the right strawberry taste. I also think this would work if you put the whole thing into a baked pie crust (like the Shoney's Strawberry Pie). Thank you for sharing.

Super easy with the prepared graham cracker crust, even tastier with a homemade graham cracker crust. I used about 5 cups of strawberries and had too much jello mix. I could have gotten away with making half of the mixture, and will do that next time using a regular size jello box (3 oz) instead of the bigger box and half of the water/sugar/cornstarch that is called for. I like the pie packed with berries and the jel just as the "glue" that hold it all together. I imagine this would be great with any kind of berries or a combo of berries. Thanks!

This was fantastic! We're strawberry fans here, and I knew I'd find something yummy to try for a family gathering. Everyone loved this, and we all kept checking the fridge to see if it had set. It was worth the wait. Not too sweet, and very easy to prepare. Thanks, jean1!
