Melt in your mouth fresh strawberry pie - extremely picky hubby's favorite. I have cooked this quite successfully using half sugar and half Splenda, to cut down on the calories.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs fresh strawberries
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/8 cup sugar
• 3 ounces strawberry gelatin
