Grapefruit Pie
1 baked 9" pie shell
4 grapefruit (pink is nicest)
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tbsp cornstarch
3/4 cup water or grapefruit juice*
1 package strawberry jello
Drain cut-up grapefruit in a colander for a few hours (I do it the day before).
Boil sugar, cornstarch and juice You should have just about 3/4 cup of the drained juice, and you
can top up the difference with water.*
Add jello last, and let cool.
Pour mixture over cut-up grapefruit pieces. Put in pie shell and cool. Serve with whipped cream.
