Strawberry Pie

I forgot to take a picture of the pie before we devoured it.  It is so delicious!!  I had to make it again so that I could take a picture.  It was just as good as the first time.

Strawberry Pie

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 T cornstarch
1/4 cup strawberry jello (1/2 small package)
1 quart strawberries - sliced
1 pie crust

Bake pie crust at 425° for 12-14 minutes.  Dissolve cornstarch in water, stir in sugar.  Bring to a boil.  Cook and stir until it looks clear.  Stir in strawberry jello.  Place pie filling in fridge to thicken.  Stir in strawberries and refrigerate until mostly thickened.  Pour into pie crust and refrigerate to set.  Top with cool whip or whipped cream and serve.

Whipped Cream

1 pint whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup powdered sugar

Freeze a metal bowl for 1 hour, then pour cold whipping cream into it.  Beat and mix in vanilla and powdered sugar (or more to taste).  Beat until stiff peaks form.
