Baked pastry shell (9 inch)
4 c. strawberries (2 pt.)
1 c. sugar
2 env. unflavored gelatin
1/2 c. water
3 egg whites
1 1/2 c. heavy cream

Wash and hull strawberries. Slice enough to make 3 cups. Reserve remainder for garnish.

Combine sliced strawberries and 1/2 cup sugar in medium bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Mash well or press through sieve into large bowl. Soften gelatin in water in saucepan. Heat slowly until it dissolves. Cool slightly then stir into mashed strawberries. Place bowl over ice and water to speed setting. Chill.

Stir several times until thickened. Now beat egg whites until foamy; add 1/2 cup sugar slowly until it peaks, then beat 1 cup cream until stiff. Fold gelatin mixture and then whipped cream into strawberry until no white streaks remain. Pour into cooled pie shell. Chill several hours. Top with whipped heavy cream and remaining strawberries.
