Fresh Strawberry Pie

 We went to our friends for dinner on Sunday and she made this pie, it was SOO good. She sent me the recipe, apparently it makes 3 pies, so if you want to freeze them or something.

FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE
1 1/2 cups cold water 2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups sugar 2 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry jello
3/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt 7 cups strawberries
3 pie shells
Make paste with cold water, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Pour into boiling water and mix well. Cook until thick, about 3 minutes. Add jello and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat; add lemon juice. Chill.
When cold, add strawberries and pour into baked pie shells.
Let stand 3 hours before serving. 
Top with whipped cream to serve (this made it extra good!!)

We made this, it was so good, but we think it might almost taste better with graham cracker crust instead of regular crust.
