3 tbsp strawberry gelatin
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp cornstarch
pinch salt
1 cup water
3 drops red food coloring
3 cups sliced strawberries
1 baked 9-inch pie shell

Combine gelatin, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to make a paste with 1/8 cup of the water. Set aside. Boil 7/8 cup of the water and gradually add the paste, stirring constantly to prevent lumping. Cook until thickened. Cool for 2 hours. Arrange sliced strawberries in pie shell. Stir food coloring into cooled, glaze and pour over strawberries. Cool completely; chill. Top with cool whip.
