Melanie's Strawberry Satin Pie

This delicious recipe came from Cousin Jerilyn Hassell Poole.

Combine in double boiler:

1 ½ cups sugar

½ cup + 1 tablespoon cornstarch

½ cup + 1 tablespoon flour

1 ½ teaspoons salt

2 packages Knox gelatin

Gradually stir in:

6 cups milk

Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and smooth. Stir a little of this hot mixture into:

3 beaten eggs

Add pudding mixture in pan and cook 1 minute as you stir. Cool, chill thoroughly (overnight is best). When chilled, beat until smooth then fold in:

6 oz. cool whip

2 teaspoons vanilla

Pour into 2 baked and cooled pie crusts (graham cracker or Oreo cookie is good) and arrange:

3 cups of fresh strawberries on top then smother with cooled glaze:

1 ½ cups strawberries

1 ½ cups water

Cook 2-3 minutes then remove and discard berries.

In a separate bowl combine:

¾ cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

Add to juice in pan and stir to avoid clumps. Then add:

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Red food coloring

Cook over high heat stirring constantly until thick and clear. Cool, then spoon over berries. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Yummy!
