Fresh Strawberry Pie

Hello again. Here is another recipe I will be posting. My mother has made this for as long as I can remember and it is something I look forward to ever summer. I made this pie early because I found some strawberries for cheap and I wanted to take something in for Valentine's Day to my one job. Even though I didn't get to make it until a few days after they still got some of this delicious desert.

Fresh Strawberry Pie

3oz Strawberry dry Jello mix
2 Tbsp corn starch
1 1/2 Cups water
3/4 Cup sugar
1 Quart Strawberries
1 Pie crust (Graham Cracker or regular)

Slice the strawberries and place into the pie crust. 
Mix corn starch and sugar in a medium saucepan, then mix in the water and heat on medium heat, stirring constantly until the corn starch, sugar, and water mixture are clear. Once the mixture is clear take it off of the heat and dump in the dry jello mix and stir until smooth. Pour the mixutre over the strawberries and put the pie into the refrigerator until chilled thoroughly and the jello is solid.

This last time I made it I only used half a quart or 1 lb of strawberries and it worked great. I used a 9 oz. graham cracker crust also. You can make your own crust but to save time I just bought one. My favorite part of the pie is the jello mixture combined with the pie crust. Though the whole thing is phenomenal. Just a little taste of summer in the winter. Please try this and let me know what YOU think. Thanks and remember to keep cooking! :)
