Adopted recipe. This makes a nice, full pie. I would recommend using a higher sided pie plate to avoid any spill-over. You can make the pie shell and clean and hull the berries while the sugar mix cools to save some time.Prep. time is apprx. I forgot to time myself when I made it. oops. Cooking time is actually chilling time.My girls both loved this. It was equally good with or without the whipped cream.You could top it with whipped cream and decorate with additional strawberries if desired.
Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie shell, baked
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
2 lbs apprx 4 cups fresh strawberries

1. In medium saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; add water and lemon juice.
