Strawberry Pie

I can't believe I haven't posted this one yet! This was one of my first few WW recipes, and it has come to have a permanent place in the Mattson household. I made it tonight because all the ingredients are on sale at Hugo's this week, and it just happens to be Trent's favorite. (It actually beat out cold rhubarb cake for his birthday request!) I also make several for 4th of July offerings or whenever the berries look good. It never lasts long, that's for sure.

Strawberry Pie

1 ready-made pie crust (either graham or shortbread)

2 c. sliced strawberries*

1 small package sugar free strawberry Jell-O

1 small package sugar free Cook-and-Serve vanilla pudding (NOT instant)

1 1/2 c. water

Wash and slice strawberries; place into ready-made crust. In a small saucepan, combine Jell-O, pudding, and water. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it comes to a boil. Pour over berries and chill overnight.

Yield: 8 servings (3)

*I use almost two pounds (one container is a pound, right?) of strawberries when I make it for Trent. I quarter the smaller berries on the bottom, and I save eight or so of the larger berries to half and arrange over the top. It's so full the plastic cover barley closes. =) I figure, it's strawberries! Eat up!
