To prepare a strawberry pie without jell o recipe, you will first need to prepare your pie crust. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and grease the bottom and sides of the pie shell with butter or margarine. Cut the strawberries in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Place the strawberry halves in the crust shell and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the shells from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
