This is my first posting to the network. We have only discovered that we have readnews here!! I am enjoying the recipes group VERY much, and am an avid collector of recipes. I am still searching for the PERFECT pecan pie. This is THE M*O*S*T scrumptious dessert on a hot spring day! FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE 2 8-inch baked pie shells Fresh strawberries, cleaned and halved (our strawberries were early this year) 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 {level} Tablespoons cornstarch 1 1/2 cups water Red food coloring (if desired) 3 oz. box strawberry jello Put sugar, cornstarch, and water in pan. Cook slow until clear and thick (about 5 minutes). Take off stove. Add 5 drops red food coloring and 3-oz. box of jello. Stir in. Let cool. Pour over strawberries which have been placed in baked pie shells. Let set in refrigerator about an hour. Eat! Serve with a dollop of your favorite whipped topping. Enjoy!!!! (1985) -N. Schnepp
