Fresh Strawberry Pie*
1 cup Splenda
2 tablespoons sugar-free strawberry Jello (packet in small box)
1 tablespoon plain gelatin (1 packet in box)
4 tablespoons cornstartch
1 cup water
1 pound strawberries, sliced (or 2 cups)
1 baked pie shell
Bake pie shell according to package directions (or make from scratch if you're far more ambitious than I am). Let cool.
Mix together Splenda, gelatins, cornstarch and water in saucepan. Heat over medium until thickened. Whisk in beginning stages to break up cornstarch. Remove from heat. Stir in fresh strawberries. Pour mix into baked pie shell. Chill for several hours until firm.
Serve with whipped topping of choice.
*I made this sugar free. Sugar can be substituted.
If you have really good really fresh strawberries, you could try using plain gelatin all together and letting the strawberries speak for themselves. I didn't have the really good ones this time (there's a great fruit stand just outside the other side of town with excellent fresh berries, but mine were from the grocery store), so I used the above mix.
Less gelatin might allow for a more compote like filling (more like blueberry pie), and I'll have to give that a try next time.
