How to Make Jelly Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Gently stir in the strawberry jelly until evenly combined.
  5. In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  6. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the butter-sugar-jelly mixture until just combined. Be gentle to avoid deflating the egg whites.
  7. Stir in the lemon juice.
  8. Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  9. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden around the edges. A slight jiggle in the center is okay.
  10. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours for optimal flavor and setting.
