Strawberry Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup water
• 1 package (3 ounces) strawberry gelatin
• 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 450°. Unroll crust into a 9-in. pie plate. Trim edge. Line unpricked crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil or parchment. Bake 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate until slightly cooled, 15-20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, arrange strawberries in the crust. Pour gelatin mixture over berries. Refrigerate until set. If desired, serve with whipped cream.
   Whipped cream, optional
