Fresh Strawberry Pie

I found this recipe in my Taste of Home Baking Book, and it's wonderful! The filling is very firm, so it cuts well and is not at all messy, and it's so pretty!

Ingredients:

CRUST:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, melted

FILLING:
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons strawberry gelatin powder
1 quart fresh strawberries

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, pecans, sugar and salt; stir in the butter until blended. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. pie plate. Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

For filling, combine sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan. Gradually stir in water and corn syrup; bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Cool to room temperature.


Arrange berries in the crust. Carefully pour gelatin mixture over berries. Refrigerate for 2 hours or until set. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6-8 servings.
