Best Strawberry Pie

• 1 & 1/2 cups water
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry Jello
• 1 baked 9 or 10 inch pie shell
• 1 quart fresh strawberries
• whipped topping

Cook together the water, sugar and cornstarch stirring until thick and clear.  Remove from heat and add Jello slowly.  Mix thoroughly.  Cool 10 minutes.  Rinse, hull and halve strawberries.  Place in the baked pie shell.  Poor cooled Jello mixture over the strawberries and chill until set.  Serve with whipped topping.
I have used thawed frozen strawberries with good results.
