Strawberry Pie

I made this last year as an experiment. We had leftover strawberries, pie dough, and some gelatin. My husband loves pies.

Ingredients:
1 pie shell, baked
5 cups of fresh strawberries
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 (3oz) strawberry flavored gelatin (or just use plain gelatin and use pureed strawberries for the flavoring)


In a saucepan, mix together the sugar and corn starch; make sure to blend corn starch in completely. Add boiling water, and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens. Remove from heat. Add gelatin mix, and stir until smooth. Let mixture cool to room temperature. Use all the gelatin because it won't set otherwise.
Place strawberries in baked pie shells; position berries with points facing up (or however you like them, look at my pictures). Pour cooled gel mixture over strawberries. I topped mine with more strawberries. 
Refrigerate until set. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
