What's better for Valentine's Day than strawberries? Okay, maybe chocolate, but this recipe is strictly strawberries encased in a pie crust and topped with whipped cream. Make this for your Valentine!
Ingredients: 1 (9 inch) unbaked pastry shell (see Pie Recipe #1 for pastry recipe), 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 cup water, 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin, 4 cups sliced fresh strawberries, fresh mint (optional), whipping cream, whipped.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line unpricked pie shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Bake in preheated 450 degree oven for 8 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 5 more minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until slightly cooled.
Meanwhile, arrange strawberries in the cooled crust. Pour gelatin mixture over berries, covering all. Refrigerate until set. Top with whipped cream and fresh mint, if desired.
