Step 1

Bake your favorite pie shell and set aside to be filled later.

Step 2

Mix together with a whisk: Water, sugar, and corn starch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add the strawberry Jell-O and whisk and stir until well blended and Jell-O is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool (don't let it get set, just cooled).

Step 3

Wash the strawberries. Pat dry and remove the hulls. Cut strawberries in half (or leave them whole!!). Gently fold the strawberries into the Jell-O mixture.

Step 4

Pile the strawberries up in the baked pie shell (it will look like a hill). Refrigerate for at least an hour.

Step 5

*** Serve as is, or with a spoonful of whip cream or Cool Whip and a strawberry on top.*** Cover the entire hill of strawberries with whipped cream or Cool Whip. Place some strawberries on top to garnish.
