RE: Best Strawberry Pie

This may sound odd but I have to know. Can you use the clear strawberry kool aid. My one daughter is allergic to red dye, but loves strawberries. Thanks

RE: Best Strawberry Pie

I would never have thought of putting Kool-Aid in a pie, but this sounds awesome. Thanks so much for the recipe. :-)
