Strawberry pie

[catmandu57]

Our strawberries just exploded over the last couple of days, we'll be overrun with ripe berries for the next month, especially now since it rained heavy this morning.
So, yesterday I made a huge pie, it's pretty simple

One baked pie shell:
one cup water
one cup sugar
two tbls corn starch
two tbls strawberry jello
enough berries to fill the shell

Combine water, sugar, cornstarch cook over medium heat until thick and clear, add jello, stir let cool for about five minutes.
Fill baked shell with berries, pour sauce over berries and let chill preferably overnight, but four hours will do if you can't wait any longer. Top with whipped cream and pig out.

10. We'll have to get some rhubarb

and do that. We've got to fight with the garter snakes they love to eat them also. I was picking, moved a leaf and ran smack into one, gartersnakes are harmless, but I snatched my hand back real quick.
