Strawberry Pie with Jello
This strawberry pie layers fresh sliced strawberries in a graham cracker crust, topped with a thickened strawberry Jello glaze made using 7UP and sugar. The filling sets into a glossy, slightly firm texture after chilling, balancing fruity sweetness and a hint of citrus from the soda. The result is a cool, refreshing pie that highlights ripe strawberries.

Notes
- Use a deep dish graham cracker crust to accommodate the generous amount of strawberries and filling.
- Chill the pie at least 4 hours, or until fully set, before serving for best texture.
- Adjust strawberry quantity according to crust size; too much fruit can cause the pie to crumble when sliced.
- Serve with whipped cream for added creaminess and contrast.
