Strawberry Pie

I got this recipe from a friend in college. It's one of my faves!

(Makes two 8-inch pies or one 10-inch pie)

Crumb crust
2 c. graham cracker crumbs
1/2 c. butter or margarine
2 T. sugar

Mix ingredients and press into pie pan(s). Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes.

Filling
1-1/2 c. sugar
4 T. cornstarch
1-1/2 c. water
strawberry jello (3 oz. pkg.)
1 qt. strawberries, cut in half

Combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cook until clear, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add jello. Allow mixture to cool, then add strawberries. Pour into crumb crust.

Allow pie to set in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours. When ready to serve, top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
