Sunday's dessert....

As promised, I will share Sunday's dessert with  you in this post.  However, there is one "leftover" from the last post.  I have a picture of the Asparagus Quiche that I will post for you now.

                                 Nice and puffy!
I believe I mentioned that I omitted the saltine cracker crust.  The asparagus is really evident in the picture, too.  This is a very good, lowfat dish.:-)

Now, on to the best course - dessert!:-)  As we have been enjoying strawberry season, that was a logical choice for a dessert ingredient, and what better dessert than Strawberry Pie!  This recipe is one that I have had for many years, and I am not sure of the source.  It was probably printed in the newspaper at one point.

STRAWBERRY PIE (this is for one pie)

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
3 Tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 box (3-oz.) strawberry gelatin
2 cups whole strawberries, washed and caps removed
1 baked, cool pie shell

-Mix water, sugar, and cornstarch in saucepan; stir until smooth.  Bring to boil, stirring until it begins to thicken.  Add 1/2 box gelatin, stirring into mixture till thick.  Remove from  heat; cool.  Pour over strawberries that have been place in shell.  Chill one hour before serving. 
Servings - depends on the appetites of those who are being served!   The picture below shows what was left after serving only three!  (I didn't have any!)

                              Not many leftovers.:)
I have noticed new followers!  Welcome!  Thank you to each of you for reading.  I really enjoy your comments.
