"Strawberry" Pie

"Strawberry" Pie
My friend Bonnie has shared another wonderful pie recipe with me. This pie is one that is low calorie according to Bonnie, quick to make and diasppears quickly. I love those pies that do not require a dough crust.
Ingredients:
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple
1 1/2 cup liquid (drained juice and added water)
1 pkg. sugar free jello (four serving)
1 pkg. fat free vanilla pudding
1 graham cracker crust
***
Directions:
Drain pineapple and add enough water to make 1 1/2 cups liquid. bring the liquid to a boil and add the jello, stir to dissolve and add the pudding mixture. When well mixed add crushed pineapple. Allow to cool. Place the quart of strawberries in graham cracker crust and pour the mixture over the strawberries. Refrigerate for at least four hours.
Note: Pouring a mixture that is too hot over strawberries "cooks" them and makes them watery.
