Fresh Strawberry Pie

Ingredients

• 1 baked 9 inch deep-dish or regular 10-inch pie shell*
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 ounces strawberry Jell-O
• 1 quart fresh strawberries, cleaned, hulled and sliced
• 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions

1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Add water and lemon juice. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook stirring until slightly thickened and clear, 4 to 5 minutes.
2. Add gelatin, stirring until dissolved. Allow to cool to room temperature.
3. Stir strawberries into gelatin mixture. Turn into a baked and cooled 9 inch deep dish or regular 10 inch pie shell.
4. Chill for 4 to 6 hours or until set.
5. Serve topped with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

* A 9 inch deep dish crust is recommended as a 9 inch regular crust will allow the filling to overflow.
