Strawberry pie

6 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 9 Inch Pie Shell
2 pints Fresh Strawberries, stemmed and washed
1 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
1 cup Water
2 tablespoons Strawberry Jell-O Powder
1 pint Heavy Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Directions

Prepare pie shell. Drain the berries. Slecting a few of the riper berries, mash enough to make ¼ cupful. Set aside. Combine sugar, corstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until thick and clear.

Remove from heat and add Jell-O. Mix well. Cool slightly. Then add mash berries. Fill pie shell with whole berries. Pour mixture evenly over them. Chill for at least 4 hours. Just before serving, whip cream to form stiff peaks. Beat in vanilla, and mound on top of pie.

Since this is a fairly sweet pie, unsweetened whipped cream is preferred, but you can add a little powdered sugar blended in.

Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
