Pie

This pie is one of my favorites:

Strawberry Pie (Or Mixed Fruit Pie)

Make a graham cracker crust.  Or do as I did and copy Gerlinde's idea: Make the crust with ginger snaps.  Crush up the cookies really fine and mix them with some butter and sugar.  Bake the crust a little bit--about 8 minutes will do.

As it cools, make the filling:

1 1/2 cup cold water
6 t. cornstarch
1 t. sugar
1 small jello (strawberry, raspberry, or whatever)

Mix thoroughly and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is thick.  Cool and then add four cups of berries, all strawberries or a mix of blueberries, raspberries, or what have you.

While it cooks and while it cools, listen to World Music on TPR, then settle in for a night of movie-watching.

The next day, top it with whipped cream--and voila!  It's a winner every time.
