Kittencal'S Strawberry-Glazed Pie - cooking recipe

Ingredients

7 cups sliced fresh strawberries (sliced in half or in thirds)
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup water
1/3 cup strawberry gelatin (I use Jell-O gelatin for this)
1/4 cup cornstarch (measured out exactly 1/4-cup)
3 -4 drops red food coloring (or as desired)
1 (9 inch) pie pastry (use a deep-dish crust baked and cooled completely, or can use a prepared graham cracker crust)
2 cups whipped cream (or to taste)
1 cup fresh sliced strawberry, for the top (optional)

Preparation

In a lage saucepan place the sugar, water, strawberry gelatin powder and cornstarch; bring to a boil and boil mixing constantly for about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and add in red food colouring (use as much food colouring as you wish to acheive the colour desired).
Fold in 7 cups sliced strawberries; toss well with a wooden spoon or spatula to combine.
Transfer to prepared crust.
Refrigerate for about 4 hours or until completely set.
Top pie with whipped cream.
Place more sliced strawberries on top of whipped cream if desired in a decorative fashion.
