IMAGE This week’s recipe was submitted to us by 8 year old Lindsey in South Carolina. As you can see, Lindsey enjoyed making this recipe - she enjoyed it enough to share it with you!



Easy Fresh Fruit Pie

Tools needed:

1 cup measure
3/4 cup measure
spoons
fork
This recipe requires the use of kitchen scissors, a knife or blender/food processor. Please be careful when handling sharp objects. Have a grown up around in case you need help. blender(chopper)
bowl
pie pan
sauce pan


Ingredients:

1 large box strawberry jello
1 large box cook and serve vanilla flavor pudding mix
water

1 sleeve graham crackers
1/2 cup oleo
1/4 cup sugar

2 quarts fresh strawberries
1 container Cool Whip

Instructions:
This recipe requires cooking on the stove or in the oven. Practice safety around open flame and always use an oven mitt when removing something from the oven. Make crust by crushing 1 package of graham crackers. Add sugar and melted oleo to make coarse crumb mixture. Put in a pie pan sprayed with cooking spray. Use a spoon or bottom of measuring cup sprayed with cooking spray to press crumbs to form crust. Bake 4 or 5 minutes in 350 oven. (In a crunch for time? Use a ready made graham cracker pie crust!)

Put large pkg of Jello and cook and serve vanilla pudding mix in sauce pan with 1 3/4 cup water. Cook until thick and translucent.

Place strawberries in pie crust after removing stems with large end down. Place very close together. Pour glaze over berries to top of pie. Cool and cover with cool whip.

Prep time: 30 min

Serves: 12

Notes: Can use prepared crust but kids enjoy crushing the crackers and making crust if you have time. Can use other kinds of fruit and jello gelatin flavors, sush as peaches, plums, nectarines and blueberries. To make this a healthier dessert for those watching their sugar intake you can use sugar free gelatin and pudding mix.


Great recipe Lindsey!

NOTE:
MomsMenu, FamilyCorner, and Crafty Cooking Kits are excited that your children enjoy being in the kitchen. While it is a lot of fun to cook, it is also a big responsibility and caution should be exercised with certain recipes. Whenever there is cooking involved, you will see the red "HOT" button on that particular recipe. Should cutting or chopping be necessary, the orange "SHARP" button will appear. Parents, Please always supervise your children while in the kitchen, never leave your kids alone while cooking, cutting, or handling food. Let’s keep the cooking experience happy and safe!

While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
