Preparation

Step 1

1. In a medium pan, mix the starch and sugar together. Add the water and mashed strawberries. Bring the liquid to a boil, stir regularly, until the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool for about ten minutes.

2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid. Add enough food color to reach the tint desired. Scrape the mixture into the pie shell.

3. Add the strawberry chunks. Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours to let the gelatin set.

4. Serve with plenty of whipped cream.
