Fresh Strawberry Cheese Pie - Linda Jackson

Line 2 pie pans with graham cracker crust (approximately 4 c crushed graham crackers mixed with 1 1/2 - 2 cubes butter)

Mix:
2 - 8 oz packages cream cheese softened and beaten until smooth
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 t vanilla
1/4 c lemon juice

Pour evenly over pie crusts and let set in fridge for 30 min or more.
Mix 1 package strawberry junket according to directions on box (or 2 c strawberry glaze). Add 2 quarts fresh strawberries cut in chunks. Pour over pies and refrigerate several hours before serving. Can top with whipped cream if desired.

* for valentines I shape the strawberry topping in the shape of a large heart on the top of the cheesecake.
