We had some friends over last night to play chicken foot, which we never got around to since we were busy talking and solving the worlds problems, while eatting the strawberry pie. It was so good and cool and refreshing and the whipped topping just made it melt in our mouths. So here it is, very simple, very pretty and very delicious!
Bring to a boil, 1 cup water, 4 tables cornstarch and 1 cup sugar. When mixture is clear and thick, add 4 heaping tables of strawberry or cherry jello and stir until dissolved. Set aside to cool for a minute while slicing a qt of washed strawberries into a cooled and baked pie shell (or you can use a graham cracker crust which is bought and then you don’t have to bake a pie shell. Top with Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream which is just whipped cream with 1 cup of powdered sugar to 2 cups of whipping cream. Whip until whipping cream is stiff.
When stawberries are sliced and poured into pie shell, pour jello mixture slowly over strawberries and refrigerate until cool (at least 2 to 3 hours). Top with whipping cream
