Strawberry Pie

This morning, the kids kissed each other three times completely unprovoked! It was literally the cutest moment between the two of them that I could have imagined! I hope that they become best friends through their little twin bond. That would be awesome!

But, the little nuggets are sick. Pew. They have fevers and runny noses and are just miserable. That's all I'm going to say about that for now, otherwise I'll end up pulling out my soapbox and have to burn one of my bras or something if I start thinking about how they got sick. Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

So, I had all these strawberries that I had to figure out what to do with and I ended up making a strawberry pie. I mean, it's make-your-knees-weak good! Here is the recipe and if you have a pint or two of fresh strawberries on hand and decide to try it, let me know how it turns out!

Strawberry Pie

1-1/4 cups water
1 cup white sugar
2 tbsp. and 1-1/2 tsp. cornstarch
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 tsp. salt
1 (3 ounce) package tropical flavored gelatin mix
4-5 cups strawberries, hulled
1 (9 inch) pie shell, baked

In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, salt, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin packet. Allow to cool slightly. Arrange strawberries in the pie crust and pour gelatin mixture over, covering the berries. Refrigerate for 2 hours prior to serving.
