I have made strawberry pie like this for years, minus the lemon juice. It is a good way to use up your strawberries that might have gotten a little soft.

We used to live near a large Amish community and were friends with some of the members. They made lots of wonderful things. I do not ever remember the ladies using Jello and think this should have called for Knox unflavored gelatin. I have seen pies made with the box of Jello though, just not by Amish. LOL

I agree. Don't think 3 T's of flavored gelatin will get u any flavor. It's a typo!
