The Best Strawberry Pie EVER!

My sister made the best Strawberry pies in this world yesterday for Mother's Day.  They were fabulous, especially with the fresh berries they picked a day earlier.

 

Ingredients

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries
• fresh mint

Directions

1. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until slightly cooled.
3. Meanwhile, arrange strawberries in the crust. Pour gelatin mixture over berries. Refrigerate until set. Garnish with mint if desired.

We skipped the mint. Just add whipped topping and dive in.
