1 quart strawberries (set aside 1 cup for another use)
3/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
3 TBS corn starch
1 tsp. lemon juice
2 1/2 TBS. strawberry jello
Wash and drain berries. Crush the 1 cup of berries for the glaze. (I usually use a fork to mash them) Simmer crushed berries and water for 3-4 minutes. In another bowl combine sugar, cornstarch and jello. Add to cooked fruit and cook until it is thick (like jelly) and it is clear. (When you first combine them all it is a cloudy red color, cook until it is a clear red color.) Add lemon juice, set aside to cool slightly. Slice remaining berries into baked pie shell. Pour glaze over berries in pie shell. Chill overnight and serve with whipped cream.
NOW, you need to know that it took me 3 or 4 times to really get this down. The hardest part is not burning the gelatin, and also not under cooking it. If you over cook it, it is hard as rock when it sets up. Under cooked, it still tastes great but will be basically liquid with strawberries. (still edible though!) Good luck!
