This is almost exactly the same as my recipe. The only difference is that my recipe calls for 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to be added at the same time as the water. In step 4, the water/sugar/cornstarch mixture should cook until it is thick and very transparent. I sometimes use whole strawberries which makes for a nice presentation. I have been making this pie for over 20 years and it always receives rave reviews (very fresh tasting and it is super simple to make). A favorite at summer parties.

Totally awesome pie! I used a ready-made shortbread crust, but a baked crust would be good as well. The only thing I did have to adjust was the amount of strawberries called for. The recipe says a pint but I used a heaping quart and even then I had some of the jello mixture leftover. This will become a staple in our home. By all means try it, you won't be sorry! Thanks Doris1!
