Strawberry Pie

I think this recipe came from my mom.  It’s easy and delicious! 

1 baked pie shell (not deep dish)

1 cup sugar 

1 cup water 

1 pound fresh strawberries, cleaned and hulled (halved or quartered if big) 

4 tablespoons strawberry Jell-O (can use sugar free) 

3 tablespoons cornstarch 

red food coloring, about 4 drops   

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water.  Cook on medium until clear and bubbling and remove from heat. 

Add food coloring and gelatin and stir well.  Cool until slightly warm.  Line pie crust with berries.  Fill with cooked mixture.  Chill until set.  Serve with whipped cream or non-dairy topping.
