Mom's Strawberry Pie

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

• 1 prebaked 9-inch deep pie shell
• 4 cups strawberries, about 1 quart
• 1 cup cool water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons strawberry jell-o gelatin dessert

Recipe

• 1 bake 9" pie shell according to it's directions and allow to cool.
• 2 clean and cut strawberries. pour into pie shell.
• 3 on the stovetop, cook the water, sugar (or splenda), and cornstarch until thick. cornstarch will lump as it heats and thickens so be attentive with a whisk. add strawberry jello mix (the powder, not pre-made jello) and combine thoroughly. allow to cool but not gel.
• 4 pour jello mixture over strawberries and refrigerate until fully gelled.
• 5 personally, i like it best if you pour the jello mixture over strawberries and allow to gel without chilling the strawberries. i think it takes away from the flavor when the berries get too cold.
