#512 - Glazed Strawberry Pie

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 - ready-made Keebler graham cracker pie crust
1 cup water
1/4 cup strawberry jelly
1/4 cup of a small box of strawberry Jell-O mix (it won't take the whole box, just 1/4 cup)
2 - 3oz. Philly cream cheese
1 TBSP white sugar
2 TBSP orange juice
1 quart of fresh whole strawberries (washed, stemmed, and drained)
1 - 8oz. Cool Whip

In a saucepan, heat the cup of water until boiling, then stir in the 1/4 cup Jell-O mix and the strawberry jelly--stir until dissolved. Place ice cubes in a large bowl and set the saucepan in the ice until mixture is room temperature. Wipe the bottom of the saucepan with a towel and place saucepan in refrigerator until mixture starts to gel. In a mixer beat cream cheese, white sugar and orange juice until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the bottom of the graham cracker crust. Evenly arrange the strawberries on the cream cheese mixture (bottom end of strawberries up). Remove the glaze from the refrigerator and spoon over the strawberries. Chill at least a few hours, then spread Cool Whip over the top. Refrigerate overnight.
