Glazed Strawberry Pie

We were going to a family picnic today and I asked my 13 year-old daughter, who loves to bake, if she wanted to make a dessert to take. She told me about a recipe she had made while visiting her aunt a few months ago. A quick call to Texas yielded this recipe which she was able to quickly make to the raves of all the family present at the picnic!

Ingredients

• Baked pie shell (deep dish)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 1 (4 serving size) package strawberry Jell-O
• 1 quart strawberries (or more), sliced
  

Instructions

1. Mix sugar and cornstarch. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Remove from heat. Add Jell-O and mix well. Cool.
2. Fill pie shell with sliced strawberries. Pour cooled glaze over berries.
3. Chill until filling is set.
4. Serve with whipped cream.
