Grandma Ady Tastes Life
How lucky am I to have Gary’s mom in my life! She can sew anything, fix anything and can create anything out of a piece of wood. She is famous for her chocolate chip cookies. I think there has been only two times in 31 years her cookies were not waiting for us upon our arrival in Green Bay. And, everyone adores her strawberry pie.
Gram Ady’s Strawberry Pie
Baked pie crust (Gram makes the best crust. I use frozen.)
Filling
Strawberries, sliced and beautifully arranged in the crust
Sauce
- ¾ cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups cold water
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 package (small) strawberry jello
Whisk together the sugar, water and cornstarch. Bring to a boil. Cook for three minutes until clear. Whisk in the package of strawberry jello until completely blended. Let cool slightly and pour over prepared strawberries in pie crust. Refrigerate several hours to set.
Yes, this recipe is loaded with sugar. It is a “Bork sometimes food” not a “Bork always food.” I usually prepare it once or twice a summer with strawberries we pick.
The best ingredient of Gram’s pie is how it makes us feel. People never forget how you make them feel.
