1½ cups sugar
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
¼ cup cold water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Red food coloring
1 cup cream, whipped
One 9-inch pie shell
Wash and cap strawberries. Sprinkle with 1 cup sugar. Let stand in refrigerator for several hours. Soften gelatin in cold water. Press half the berries and all the juice through a sieve to make 1½ cups of sieved berries and juice (if necessary, add water to make up the full amount). Add remaining ½ cup sugar and lemon juice. Heat to the boiling point. Dissolve gelatin in hot strawberry mixture. Add coloring to give a bright red color. Chill until mixture begins to thicken. Place remaining whole berries in pie shell. Cover with thickened gelatin mixture. Chill until firm. Top with sweetened whipped cream before serving.
