Ingredients:
1 pint Fresh strawberries, washed and sliced in halves
½ C Sugar
1 Envelope of unflavored gelatin (1 tablespoon)
¾ C Cold water
1 T Fresh lemon juice
Dash of salt
2 Egg whites
¼ C Sugar
½ C Whipping cream, whipped
1 9-inch pastry shell, baked
Directions:
In a medium bowl, roughly mash the strawberries with a potato
masher. Add ½ cup sugar to the berries, stir, and set aside for 1
hour.
In a small saucepan, stir together the gelatin and cold water. Turn
heat to low to dissolve. Allow to cool.
Combine strawberries, lemon juice and salt in medium bowl. Add
cooled gelatin mixture to strawberry mixture and stir. Chill,
stirring occasionally, until mixture is partially set.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add the ¼ cup
sugar, a tablespoon at a time, and beat until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the strawberry mixture; then, fold in the
whipped cream. Refrigerate until mixture is set enough to mound.
Pile into a baked and cooled 9-inch pastry shell.
Return pie to refrigerator and chill until filling is firm, about 5
hours. Garnish with additional whipped cream, if desired.
