Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie

Looking for an easy recipe for your Church's get together of sorts? Look no further! This super simple recipe is easy to make and makes two pies as is. To make it easier, just buy premade graham or regular pie crusts. I made my own because I had nothing better to do.

For the graham crust:
Crumble up one and a half packages of whole graham crackers, so about 15 crackers.
Mix in sugar and cup melted butter.

Divide the mixture in half and add to two pie tins. It is easier to push the crumbs up the sides first and finish the bottom last.

On top of the crust, add a layer of either fresh or frozen-and-thawed strawberries. I used thawed berries because we seem to be hoarding bags of frozen strawberries.

Now for the filling: do two separate transactions. This part doesn't take long and it is easier (I think) than just doubling the mixture and trying to sort it out later.

In a saucepan, combine the jello, sugar, cornstarch, and water.  Whisk this well and let it come it a boil, stirring often. Then reduce the heat and let it continue to cook for two minutes. Take the jello mixture off the stove and let it cool just long enough for it to start to thicken, which doesn't take long.

Pour the gel over the top of the strawberries, let cool, and you are good to go.
