Happy 4th of July everyone!  I hope you had time to see a parade, grill out, and spend time with loved ones. I also hope that you make it a point to remember why we have this holiday and thank those who protect us.  Take a moment to thank someone personally.  I have a loved one who has served us all.

Well, I decided to make a twist on a family favorite.....Strawberry Pie.


Prepare your favorite Graham Cracker Crust!


Since it is Strawberry Season, slice your berries and place them in your prepared shell.


I decided to add some Blueberries to make it look a little more "Patriotic"


You may ask why I am using a valved sippy cup.  The recipe calls for Cornstarch and water to be mixed evenly.  I put them in here and shake hard!


Look how smooth is it mixed together!


Add the Sugar and bring to a boil. When the mixture is thick and clear, turn off the heat.  Let the mixture cool a bit and add the Jello packet.


Pour the mixture over the fruit in the pie.


Place the pie in the refrigerator for a few hours.


Add whipped cream!  Dive in!

Happy Independence Day!
