No one is bringing dessert????????

This is a simple to make but yummy pie we first had at Morrison's Cafeteria in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina back in the late 1970's. I've given everyone the recipe after they all raved about it. I fully realize that JELLO is not in vogue now, but it makes for a very pretty strawberry pie.......this is Morrison's recipe.


FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
3 Tablespoons strawberry gelatin mix
1 Pint fresh strawberries
3 heaping tablespoons cornstarch
1 pie crust, baked and cooled.

Combine sugar, cornstarch and dry strawberry gelatin mix by stirring well.
Add water and cook until thick and clear, over medium high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Set aside and let cool.

Wash and hull strawberries, cut in half and arrange over the plain pie crust.

When the filling is cool, pour over strawberries and chill pie until ready to serve.

Serve with whipped cream or cool whip.....garnish with more fresh strawberries.

This is my husband's favorite pie. There are other versions that use cream cheese in the bottom.....but this tastes like pure strawberry.

p.s. REMEMBER to bake the pie shell first........then let cool You do NOT bake this strawberry pie. The hot jello mixture sets the strawberries.
