Big Boy Strawberry Pie

Never made a pie? Start with this one... it's really hard to screw up.

1 prepared pie crust (bake according to package directions)
1 cup sugar
2 TBSP corn starch
1 3 oz package strawberry jello
1 quart fresh strawberries
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP butter

In a saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch. Mash 1 cup of whole berries. Add water to crushed berries to make 2 cups. Stir into sugar and cornstarch.

Cook, stirring over medium heat until boiling. Boil for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat, add butter, jello and lemon juice. Stir until jello dissolves. Chill until partially set.

Spoon 1/3 of mixture into pie shell. Add rest of berries to pie shell. Pour rest of mixture over the top. Chill at least one hour (overnight is better.)

Sherve with whipped cream.
