4 medium to large Rio Star grapefruit
1 cup sugar
1-3/4 cup strained grapefruit juice
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1/8 tsp. salt
1 (3 oz.) pkg wild strawberry jello
1 (8 or 9 inch) pie crust, baked & cooled
1 cup whipping cream, whipped
Peel and section grapefruit. Place sections in a strainer over a bowl.
Leave overnight in the refrigerator. The next day, cook sugar and next 3
ingredients until thick and clear. Add jello and stir until dissolved. With
a large spoon, spoon a small amount of the jello mixture to cover the bottom
of the baked pie crust (about 1/4 inch thick).
Reserve the rest of the mixture briefly until ready for use, no need to
refrigerate. Chill the pie until the jello congeals, about one hour. When
the jello congeals, place the drained grapefruit sections in a close
circular fashion in the pie shell. Pour the reserved jello mixture over the
pie and chill the pie again until the jello sets. Top with whipped cream.
