Strawberry Pie

This must be made the morning of the day you will be serving. This was my grandmother’s recipe. It’s tasty and pretty.

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
½ of a 3-ounce package strawberry Jell-o
1 quart cleaned, whole strawberries
Baked pie shell

1. Mix the sugar, cornstarch and water in a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
2. Add the half package of strawberry Jell-o.
3. Cool to room temperature.
4. Place the whole strawberries tip side up in baked pie shell.
5. Pour the Jell-o mixture over the strawberries.
6. Refrigerate for several hours, covered with foil.
