Fresh Strawberry Pie

This is the time of the year to think about fresh strawberries. So for the next couple of days or so I will print recipes that use strawberries. I can't help but think of the year that we moved here. It was 1972 and Mark was 3 years old. Our neighbor had a strawberry patch and she would let me pick there for 25 cents per quart. They were wonderful, such flavor. The California berries that you can get in the grocery are o.k. but if you can get Missouri or Arkansas grown berries, they have so much more flavor.

1 cup sugar
heaping TBSP. of cornstarch
Mix together
Then add :
1 cup water
Bring to a boil.
Add 1/2 pkg. of Wild Strawberry jello (must be Wild Strawberry to get the right flavor)
Stir well.
Cool, then pour over 1 qt. of sliced strawberries in baked pie crust. Refrigerate. Makes 1 pie.
It is absolutely delicious. You may put cool whip or ice cream on top for serving.

I made this same recipe last week for Church of Celebration's first pie auction. It brought $300. Josh was disappointed b/c they kept outbiding him and he had already spent too much. Great recipe!
