When this Pie first began at the famous Big Boy Restaurant, it seemed everyone was stopping in just for the pie. This pie became the signature food for the Restaurant.
Understandably so, it was filled with strawberries, a perfect gelatin with the strawberries and the flakiest crust I had ever tasted at that time.
It really seemed that no matter what you knew, this pie tasted so fresh, as though it had just been made.
Although, we all knew that it had come from the freezer at the restaurant. What makes this pie so special is that it tastes just like what my Grandma would make.
What makes this Pie so special?
This Strawberry Pie tastes like summer. It is easy to make, tastes superb and everyone loves it. It is also one of the most popular pies there is.
Do I have to add the Strawberry Jelly?
The jelly adds to the great flavor. There is not that much jelly in the recipe, just enough to give it the extra special touch.

It is best to keep it in the refrigerator when you are not serving the pie. It is fine to sit out for a few hours, but not much longer than that.
