Strawberry Pie

This was one of our favorites growing up:

Strawberry Pie

Crust:
1 cup flour
2 sticks melted margarine
2 Tablespoons sugar
Mix ingredients well. Press into pie plate. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 min. Let cool.

Inside:
2 pints fresh strawberries sliced

Filling:
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
2 Tablespoons cornstarch

Directions:
Boil the three filling directions, mixing with a wire wisk. It will thicken. Take off the stove. Add one small box of regular red jello. Cool somewhat. Then add the sliced strawberries. Pour into pie crust. Chill and refrigerate until serving time.

Variations:
* My mom used to sometimes do strawberries and blueberries (combined 2 pints). That makes a nice red, white, and blue pie (with whipped cream).
* She also used to do sliced peaches. If you do sliced peaches, we used to find the peach jello a little too sweet, but really liked it with orange jello.
